6. Additional Evidence and Engagement
In line with our equality duty, utilising the information gathered during the consultation process, we intend to carry out a more in-depth analysis of the equality impact of the policy proposal for inclusion in our final EQIA. The following additional evidence has also been sought to enable a fuller evaluation to be carried out:
- Further information about the outcome of proposals to amend policies relating to tuition fees and student support in Wales and Northern Ireland.
- Comments and responses from the specific equality groups which may be affected by the proposals. It is our intention to invite representatives from major stakeholders to meet with us to discuss their views on the likely equality impacts of the proposal.
- Additional proportional data in relation to age and socio-economic status.
- Additional data about the demographics of the UK, per age group.
