EqIAs in practice
The following two sections are questions asked by officers carrying out EqIAs.
Hotseats on the EqIA Support Network
The EqIA Support Network (community of practice or CoP) ran a series of 'hotseat' events, where a variety of service experts working in local government were available on the CoP forum, to answer questions around EqIA issues and challenges. A poll held on the CoP highlighted human resources, children services and planning and development as the top three service areas members wanted to discuss at these events. Below are key questions and answers that were captured during these sessions.
