In the context of Section 71 of the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000, and the Equality Standard for Local Government, a people impact assessment (PIA) is a thorough and systematic analysis of a policy, whether that policy is written or unwritten, formal or informal, and irrespective of the scope of that policy.
The primary function of the PIA should be to determine the extent of differential impact upon the relevant groups and in turn whether that impact is adverse, that is whether it has a negative impact on groups or individuals in relation to one or more of the equality categories (gender, disability, sexual orientation, age, religious belief, transgendered and transsexual people, people with dependants). In the light of this assessment, if it is decided that the policy has an adverse impact, the Service must consider alternative policies which more effectively achieve the promotion of equality of opportunity or measures which might be employed to mitigate the adverse impact.
