Prioritising equity in public engagement in data research

It can be hard to know where to start when it comes to integrating equity, diversity and inclusion into your data research.

Equality Impact Assessments (EqIA) are there to help. In clear steps, they guide your thinking around which groups of people may be excluded from your programmes or projects and how to overcome barriers to their involvement.

In this session, you’ll find out how you can start to use EqIA principles to support equitable public involvement in data research, at any scale. Julian Harrison, an expert in equality, diversity and community cohesion, will share a free EqIA toolkit developed by the Centre for Ethnic Health Research and answer your questions about how you can use it.

Do you have a question about EqIAs, or something else about equity, diversity and inclusion for Julian? Make sure to include it when you book your ticket and we’ll do our best to answer it.

This session is part of a series of webinars exploring how you can use the PEDRI Good Practice Standards for public engagement in data research.
