Integrated Impact Assessments

Assessing the impact of what we do

We use Integrated Impact Assessments to help us consider how our actions and decisions can contribute to achieving equality, uphold human rights (including the rights of children and young people), reduce inequalities and tackle the climate emergency.

This process makes sure NHS Grampian is fulfilling its legal duties: Public Sector Equality Duty, the Fairer Scotland Duty, our children’s rights obligations, the Consumer Duty and our environmental responsibilities.

Guidance and Support

These resources have been produced to raise awareness, both in healthcare and in the communities we serve, of the impact assessment process and the consideration staff in NHS Grampian are expected to give when decision making:

• Integrated Impact Assessment - A Guide for NHS Grampian Staff, Managers, Directors and Non Executives

NHS Grampian Impact Assessment Tools

• Integrated Impact Assessment Form
• Children’s Rights and Wellbeing Impact Assessment Form

Current Impact Assessments

As a public sector body, we publish our completed integrated impact assessments as a demonstration of our commitment to equality and diversity, human rights and sustainability. These are available to view by clicking this link.
