ARC EM is leading the way in making research culture and practice more inclusive by proactively taking steps to advance equality of opportunities, eliminate discrimination and engage people with protected characteristics in the development, implementation and dissemination of health research.

They have created this toolkit to support researchers. It consists of comprehensive training, a directory of useful resources, as well as ongoing advice and guidance.

An Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) is designed to improve equality analysis, practice and outcomes. It helps determine and understand how what we do may affect people differently.

The most important outcome of this process is ensuring that all groups and individuals are represented and those who face disadvantage and underrepresentation are visible.
