Cairngorms Equalities Advisory Panel
The Park Authority is fully committed to improving equality, accessibility and inclusion in all areas of its work. In September 2020, the Park Authority established the Equality Advisory Panel (EAP), made up of individuals with expertise in education, community representation, disability advocacy, mental health, poverty and socio-economic disadvantage, health and social care, gender, LGBTQ+ advocacy and working with ethnic minority communities.
The forum provides informed, evidence-based feedback, guidance and advice to support the Park Authority to:
- Ensure statutory public sector equality duties are delivered in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 (and other relevant equality legislation).
- Embed equality and inclusion in the Park Authority’s strategies and corporate processes.
- Critically assess and appropriately mitigate the impact of Park Authority decisions on equality groups through robust equality impact assessment procedures.
- Ensure best practice in equality and inclusion approaches to the Park Authority’s work.
- Promote the equality and inclusion work of the Park Authority and partners within the National Park.
