Following on from James response, equality impact assessments are still a requirement of funding bodies to demonstrate ‘due regard’ for the REF2014 and in many research bids, so yes further clarification from ECU colleagues would be very helpful!

Thanks Fiona.

 

Any thoughts on what happens next? If I understood correctly we are not required to undertake equality impact assessments but display due regard. Do we still need to display due regard? Clarification from ECU colleagues might be helpful here.

Apparently it can be left instead to "smart people in Whitehall" to consider equality issues while making policies.
