This document contains an Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) for the Cairngorms National Park Partnership Plan (NPPP) 2022-2027. The NPPP sets out a strategy for managing the Cairngorms National Park, including how public bodies will work together. It's arranged into sections covering nature, people, and place, with long-term goals up to 2045 and shorter-term actions for the next five years. The EqIA looks at how the NPPP might affect communities, residents, visitors, and other interested parties, especially focusing on groups with protected characteristics as defined by the Equality Act 2010. The assessment covers legislative responsibilities, available evidence, and consultation efforts, with plans to monitor the NPPP's delivery and its impact on equality throughout its implementation.
