Equality
Under Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, each Council is required to produce an Equality Scheme. An Equality Scheme is a work-plan showing how each Council will mainstream equality of opportunity into its work. Councils have also given an undertaking to carry out Equality Impact Assessments (EQIA’s). An EQIA is an in-depth study of policy or decisions to see how it affects the nine groups of persons covered by Section 75.1.2 of the Act.
