EQIA Summary
This EQIA relates to the Acceptable Use of Assets Policy, which is subject to annual review by the Information Security Group (ISG).
There is evidence that there could be potential negative impacts of the policy against the protected characteristics of age and disability.
While RoS as an organisation can and does make digital accessibility support available to individuals requiring vision, hearing, motor, or cognitive assistance, the terms of this policy do not make clear that such adjustments to IT assets can be authorised.
This omission could lead to the belief that reasonable adjustments to IT assets are not available.
These potential negative impacts are mitigated by the recommended action outlined below.
Following approval of this EQIA, the policy has been updated, implementing the recommended action.
Impact Summary
| Impact(s) | Recommended Actions |
|---|---|
| Potential Negative - Age | Update policy to include a clear provision for digital accessibility |
| Potential Negative - Disability | Update policy to include a clear provision for digital accessibility |
