Crossrail Equality Impact Assessment : Public Consultation Comments & Crossrail's Response, January 2008

This report was published on 24 January 2008 and includes the public consultation comment received between 21 December 2005 and 18 April 2006 (14 weeks) on the original EqIA, and presents the project's response. AP EqIA and AP4 EqIA were subject to a twelve week consultation period. No comments were received for either of the AP EqIAs. The document is available here as a download (right).

This document forms part of the Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) that the DfT, TfL and CLRL are working together to complete. It is a consolidated equality assessment building on the good practice from within these organisations.

In developing, agreeing and publishing this report, the DfT is acting in compliance with its statutory requirements and meeting appropriate levels of assessment for this stage of the project – the assessment, consideration and re-consideration will develop as the project progresses. The DfT is committed to working closely with TfL and CLRL to deliver a railway fit for the purpose of serving the needs of the whole community.

An Amendment of Provisions 4 Equality Impact Assessment (AP4 EqIA) was published on 1 August, 2007. It is available here as a download.

It provides an assessment of the Equality Impacts arising from the proposals to which AP4 relates. It considers the impacts arising from AP4.

Specifically the AP4 EqIA describes the permanent and temporary impacts either created or eliminated by the AP on a location basis and considers the priority group likely to be affected.

The traffic & transport impacts have also been assessed.

Consultation on this document runs until Friday 2 November 2007. Please contact the project with your comments or requests as follows:

• An Amendment of Provisions Equality Impact Assessment (AP EqIA) was published on 12 February, 2007. It is available here as a download.

It provides an assessment of the Equality Impacts arising from the revised proposals to which the APs relate. It considers the impacts arising from AP2 and AP3 - the impacts from AP1 were taken into consideration in the original EqIA.

Specifically the AP EqIA describes the permanent and temporary impacts either created or eliminated by the APs on a location basis and considers the priority group likely to be affected.

It has also taken into account issues raised by petitioners and the Promoter's response to them.

The traffic & transport impacts have also been assessed.

• Crossrail has also published a Summary of Cross London Rail Links Limited's Disability Impact Assessment, December 2006.

This document outlines Cross London Rail Links Limited's (CLRL) response to the introduction of the new Disability Equality Duty which came into effect in December 2006. It is available her as a download.

• In January 2006, Crossrail published the Crossrail Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) Project and Policy Assessment.
  

It was previously made available electronically in advance of formal publication on December 21, 2005, in order to provide stakeholders with an opportunity to consider it as early as possible. It is available here as a download.

It reports on the work that CLRL, DfT and TfL have undertaken so far to identify and seek to mitigate the potential equality impacts of the project.

The report assesses the impacts from the project and policy objectives that are currently likely to benefit or adversely impact on key groups, and outlines the approach that will be adopted as the way in which assessment will continue as detailed engineering design progresses and when construction starts.

The document is also available as a download from http://www.crossrail.co.uk/pages/inclusivity.html

A briefing leaflet summarising this EqIA is provided and is available on the CLRL and DfT websites in the same place as the EqIA. Translations and other formats of this briefing are available.
