Screening
The purpose of screening is to identify those policies that are likely to have a significant impact on equality of opportunity so that greatest resources can be devoted to these. In order to achieve this, a systematic review of policy is required.
New Dance Strategy
In accordance with Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland is required to screen all of its policies to ensure the promotion of equality and good relations. We are planning to introduce the above stated policy and now wish to consult as widely as possible with all interested parties on the outcomes of its screening.
A copy of the completed screening template is available below. Comments regarding the decision by the Arts Council not to submit the Policy to an equality impact assessment as outlined in the screening template should be returned by 13th November 2008 to:
