Equality Analysis

Equality Analysis

In order for us to ensure our services, strategies and policies are meeting the different needs of our local communities we have carried out Equality Impact Assessments. We will continue to carry out Equality Analysis in line with the Equality Act 2010.

The Equality Analysis checks that decisions and activities we undertake do not disadvantage different groups and it also considers the impact of policies on our employees.

Through carrying out Equality Analysis we continue to work on reducing the barriers that deny people access to our services as well as promoting our equalities work through delivery outcomes.

How to search for information within a PDF file

To open and read a PDF file you need to have Acrobat Reader - you can download this or get the latest version for free from Adobe's website. It is always worth using the most recent version that your system will allow in order to benefit from the latest enhancements.

Within Acrobat Reader there are a number of features that make it easier to find information within a document, for example:

• Search for a word or phrase using the 'find' box on the toolbar at the top of the document
• Use the page icon in the left hand menu to move easily between pages

Recent versions of Acrobat Reader have additional accessibility features, for example you can set up the Reader for either a screen magnifier or a screen reader. Choose Document > Accessibility Setup Assistant.
