Very interesting stream....... hopefully being researched as we speak .

 

From a health impact assessment perspective, my thanks to Samir for another useful euphemism, “rather thin” must be the understatement of the century (well, certainly since 2010).

 

I note that when I last searched, although there are several (mathematical) tools/instruments that might be utilised in the name of cumulative impact assessment, there is in fact no valid or robust methodology for cumulative health impact assessment (at policy or any other level).

Thanks Kalwinder, that's helpful.

 

I'd also say the Government impact assessments were rather thin in their analysis and the mitigation proposals - for example here's the one on the benefit cap:

All the best,

It was done but on separate benefits eg 40% of households impacted by the benefit cap will have someone from an ethnic minority.  Also the Government have undertaken different impact assessments and so the figures of people being affected have been less. It's the cumulative  impact that needs to be considered. The same people are being hit again and again by the cuts.

Please see previous email.

Shouldn't an impact assessment have been done as part of the government's Public Sector Equality Duty?

Just wondering......

Dear All, 

 

Is anyone working on the impact of the proposed welfare reforms (e.g. tax credit cuts, lower benefit cap etc.) on black and minority ethnic families? 

 

I've got the Runnymede briefing, but wanted to see if any other analysis had been done? 

 

All the best, 


Samir
