Equality Impact Assessments

Our aim is to deliver an inclusive and accessible Games for all.
To help us do this, the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) undertakes Equality Impact Assessments (EqIAs) on its programme of work, strategies and projects to find out whether it is meeting everyone's needs.

The purpose of an EqIA is to improve our work by assessing its potential impact on equality target groups, ensuring, as far as possible, that steps are taken to eliminate or minimise any negative consequences, and that we maximise opportunities that promote equality.

Under the legislation, we are required to carry out EqIAs for race, disability and gender. However, given our commitment to equality and inclusion our EqIA process considers all the equality strands of race, disability, gender, sexual orientation, age, faith/religion and transgender.

The benefits of an EqIA

An EqIA adds value to our work by:

eliminating discrimination
promoting equality through our programme and actions
improving our efficiency by integrating equality and inclusion into every relevant aspect of our work
ensuring greater consultation, involvement and improved ownership of our work by the target groups
identifying and celebrating the positive measures that we have introduced to promote equality; and
having a positive effect on the target groups.

Schedule

The following schedule sets out our timescale for the publication of our EqIAs.
