EIA Review Service
Strengthen your EIAs with DiverseCT's expert independent review
In our experience, public sector teams completing Equality Impact Assessments aren't always confident they've captured every impact. DiverseCT provides the specialist review that closes those gaps.
DiverseCT's EIA Review Service puts a specialist alongside your team. You draft the assessment. We review it, identifying strengths, exposing gaps, and giving you specific, practical recommendations to make it stronger, before anyone signs it off.
We offer flexible subscription packages to suit your organisation's needs — from a three-month pilot to an annual agreement. Select a package below to get started.
The context
Due regard is the legal requirement. EIAs are how you prove it.
Under the Public Sector Equality Duty, your organisation has a legal obligation to pay due regard to equality in everything it does. That means genuinely considering the equality implications of your decisions, not just recording that you have. An Equality Impact Assessment is one of the most effective tools available for meeting that obligation. Done well, it shows your working. It demonstrates that a decision was evidence-based and inclusive. It acts as a formal record of the equality thinking behind a policy or change, providing protection against legal challenge and driving better outcomes for the communities you serve. Done poorly, it does none of those things. It just takes up time. That's the gap DiverseCT fills.

Credibility
Expert review. Public sector understanding.
With over 30 years of EDI practice spanning central government, local authorities, NHS trusts, fire services and beyond, DiverseCT brings genuine insider knowledge to every review.
A well-completed EIA is not just about compliance. It leads to more inclusive, better-informed decisions, and it provides the evidence base that protects your organisation when decisions are challenged. We help you get there.
This is not a generic compliance audit. It is specialist review from people who have lived and worked in public sector equality — and who know the difference between an EIA that ticks boxes and one that genuinely improves outcomes.
