Answer:

An equality impact assessment is a process designed to ensure that a policy, project or scheme does not unlawfully discriminate against any protected characteristic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Impact assessment focuses on the effects of the intervention, whereas evaluation is likely to cover a wider range of issues such as the appropriateness of the intervention design etc.

Hope this helps:)
