Abstract
Equality Impact Assessments (EqIA), or Equality and Human Rights Impact Assessments, are recognised as a way for public services to implement the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) under the provisions of the Equality Act 2010. These are the duties to: ? Eliminate unlawful discrimination towards people who share protected characteristics; ? To advance equality for people who share protected characteristics; ? And to promote good relations between people who share protected characteristics. “Sexual orientation” and “gender reassignment” are the two protected characteristics in the Act that cover LGBT+ people. LGBT+ is the commonly used acronym to describe the population that are not-heterosexual and not-cisgender (i.e. trans).
