Equal Opportunities Monitoring - PA & Sport Consultation

Consultation has concluded

Statement

Schedule 9 of the Northern Ireland Act (1998) requires public authorities to prepare an equality scheme showing how they propose to fulfil the duties imposed by section 75. This includes checking how proposed policies affect the promotion of equality of opportunity and good relations for people from different Section 75 groups.

As Council is now preparing to carry out a public survey on its physical activity and sport strategy, we would like to collate information on who is and who is not impacted by it. In analysing this data, it is important for Council to identify differences within and between equality categories. Council will be able to cross tabulate and compare sub-groups to get a better understanding of how each grouping is affected.

To comply with commitments made within our Equality Scheme all respondents are asked to complete the following monitoring questionnaire. The monitoring information collected will be used to:

  • Measure the impact that this service area may have on section 75 groupings within our community
  • Determine the extent to which this service area may impact on equality of opportunity/good relations

Whilst this is a voluntary process, your participation is encouraged as this would enhance the robustness of the final survey analysis
