Engagement Strategy EQIA
The Assembly’s original Engagement Strategy covered the period from 2009 to 2013. Many of the recommendations and initiatives in that strategy have been implemented, and a new strategy has now been developed for the Assembly to further engage with the people of Northern Ireland. In order to do this effectively and ensure the strategy is reflective of the needs of stakeholders, an Equality Impact Assessment is being carried out. Further details on the EQIA and how you can respond are available here.
The Assembly Commission values comments on policy screening outcomes. Should you wish to comment on any of the policies listed above, or request documents in an alternative format, please contact:
