Has an Equality Analysis been carried out and if so the result of this Assessment?: An equality analysis/ quality assurance checklist concluded that strategy will not have a disproportionate impact on any of the protected groups under the Equality Act (2010) that cannot be mitigated in the strategy and therefore a full Equality Analysis will not be undertaken. The strategy is not proposing any fundamental changes.
