Screening Outcome

Screened Out

Reason for Outcome

This strategy has no adverse impact or opportunity outside the association or internally on any individual. The strategy sets out our approach and a focus in developing communication to promote the work of the association. Communication will promote S75 groups and be inclusive. The strategy is limited and therefore does not require an equality impact assessment.

This is a new policy drawn because of back to work planning following COVID pandemic. The policy will establish a fair, consistent and equitable approach to managing requests for agile working and how assessments will be made. It is also important that some posts are not suitable for agile working as core services must be delivered on site and therefore not suitable for agile working consideration.
