Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments (formerly Regulatory Impact Assessments) help to explain the effects of Government proposals which impact on the private, public and third sectors. The third sector includes charities and voluntary organisations. Impact Assessments are published so that those with an interest understand and can challenge:

why the Government is proposing to take action
how new policies may affect people
the estimated costs and benefits.

Impact Assessments also help the Government and policy-makers think through and understand the effects of their proposals.

We publish final stage Impact Assessments on this page.

You will find:

consultation stage Impact Assessments on the consultations page
equality impact assessments on the equality impact assessments page
other published Impact Assessments on the relevant policy page.
