Discrimination and Equality Business Risk Assessment

This fully completed discrimination and equality business risk assessment example has been prepared by experienced ISO management system consultants. It covers the risks of unlawful discrimination and unequal treatment in employment and in the provision of services, including recruitment, pay, progression, reasonable adjustments and day-to-day management. It can be used as a starting point when developing your own business risk assessment documentation.

What Does This Discrimination and Equality Business Risk Assessment Cover?

This risk assessment identifies the key discrimination and equality risks an organisation faces, including:

  • Recruitment and selection
  • Pay and reward
  • Progression and development
  • Reasonable adjustments and disability
  • Day-to-day treatment and management
  • Dismissal and exit
  • Service delivery and customers
  • Policy, training and culture
  • Complaints and tribunal exposure

A residual risk rating is then assigned to each risk, demonstrating how effective controls - such as fair recruitment and pay practices, reasonable adjustments, clear equality policies, training and a route to raise complaints - reduce the overall risk to a tolerable level.

A Professional Easy-to-Use Risk Assessment Template

This document uses colour-coded header styles matched to risk ratings, making it quick to read and easy to communicate during team briefings and staff training. A built-in risk rating matrix supports consistent evaluation of likelihood and consequence, and clear risk symbols help communicate each risk at a glance. An inherent and a residual rating are recorded for every risk, so the effect of your controls is easy to demonstrate.

Risk, Control and Prohibition Symbols

Each row in the assessment is tagged with a small symbol so the type of risk, the control that manages it and any prohibition are clear at a glance. The same icon set runs across every alphaZ business risk assessment, which keeps a finished document quick to read and easy to compare. You can read more about them in our blog post on the alphaZ business risk icons.

Who Is This Discrimination and Equality Business Risk Assessment Template Suitable For?

This template is suitable for organisations of any size that need to assess and document their discrimination and equality risks. It is useful when meeting duties under the Equality Act 2010, when strengthening fairness and inclusion, and when supporting the risks and opportunities requirements (clause 6.1) of ISO management system standards. Directors, HR leads and managers can all use it as a practical, ready-made starting point.
