Resource content

A short video produced in a Scottish Government context, featuring practitioners who have conducted equality impact assessments (EQIAs) across a range of policy areas. Speakers describe real EQIAs, the community engagement methods they used, and the tangible legislative and service outcomes that followed. The video ends with a direct message that EQIAs only have value when treated as a genuine process rather than a compliance exercise.
