Abstract
Equality Impact Assessments (EqIA), or Equality and Human Rights Impact Assessments, are recognised as a way for public services to implement the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) under the provisions of the Equality Act 2010. These are the duties to:
? Eliminate unlawful discrimination towards people who share protected characteristics;
? To advance equality for people who share protected characteristics;
? And to promote good relations between people who share protected characteristics.
¡°Sexual orientation¡± and ¡°gender reassignment¡± are the two protected characteristics in the Act that cover LGBT+ people. LGBT+ is the commonly used acronym to describe the population that are not-heterosexual and not-cisgender (i.e. trans).
