	uin	2873
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2015 answer text <p>It has never been a legal requirement in England to produce an equality impact assessment (EIA). The public sector equality duty and its supporting regulations require public bodies to have due regard to equality considerations when shaping policy and services, but it is up to individual public bodies to decide the best way to record how they have taken equality into account. The independent Steering Group which conducted a review of the PSED and reported in 2013 reported that some public bodies found EIAs helpful and that when carried out well they could highlight examples of good practice.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 06/07/2015 09:43:57 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
