Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA) under the Equality Act 2010.
Business area: Registration and Policy & Legal

EQIA Summary
The scope of this EQIA is the roll-out of the latest Grow Our Own (GOO) proof of concept which includes both Registration and Policy & Legal roles. This will be done through a new, fast tracked learning process and will allow a wider scope of potential candidates to participate.
Potential negative impacts have been identified in relation to age and disability due to the learning portfolio tool not yet being built. These impacts are mitigated with the proposed actions included in the proposal. These will be revisited once there is a better understanding of the tool.
The proposal could have a significant positive impact across several the protected characteristics as it provides a more collaborative, flexible approach in comparison to the traditional approach to Registration and Policy & Legal upskilling. It also has a positive impact as it allows for candidates of all registration experience to apply, where traditionally these roles have required years of experience. Actions proposed will enhance this positive impact.
