What does an equity assessment entail?
Please note there is currently a long waiting list for assessments, although we may be able to make a referral!
An EAPM assessment maps an institutions policies, practices and strategies for fostering equitable engagement and implementation of programming, recruitment and evaluation. The assessment identifies gaps and opportunities for foster an anti-oppressive framework and equity building measures.
My approach as a Consultant is a holistic and engaged methodology that takes into account the communities the institution engages with, its current and past staff, its leadership and advisory bodies, its policies and communications and its history in order to contextualize and position equity goals and anti-oppressive practices in informed and sustainable ways. The elements of the consultation and assessment process include diagnostic tools, strategic planning and education.
