Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) NPPP 2022-27

This document contains an Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) for the Cairngorms National Park Partnership Plan (NPPP) 2022-2027. The NPPP sets out how everyone responsible for the National Park will work together to address key issues and achieve the four aims of Scottish National Parks. It includes a vision and strategy for managing the park, guiding public bodies and partners, and providing strategic context for local development, land use, and tourism. The EqIA focuses on the potential impact of the NPPP on communities, residents, visitors, stakeholders, investors, and the business community, particularly those with protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. The assessment covers legislative responsibilities, evidence, and consultation, and takes into account data from various sources. The NPPP delivery will be monitored with specific indicators and targets related to equalities, with subsidiary plans and projects undergoing their own EqIAs.
