This equality impact assessment (EIA) sets out to ensure that the Adult Learning Difficulties Services to be commissioned by South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) does not discriminate against or disadvantage any adult with learning difficulties irrespective of their protected characteristic as defined in the Equality Act 2010.
The protected characteristics under the Equality Act (2010) are: Age; Disability; Gender Reassignment; Marriage and Civil Partnership; Pregnancy and Maternity; Race; Religion or Belief; Sex; Sexual Orientation.

- Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a relevant protected characteristic and people who do not share it;
- Foster good relations between people who share a relevant protected characteristic and those who do not share it.
