Answer
An Equality Impact Assessment has not yet been undertaken in respect of the 2024-25 budget allocation. Similar to other departments, the need for an Equality Impact Assessment can only be determined after the final budget allocation has been confirmed. As I have recently finalised decisions in relation to the 2024-25 Education Budget, my Department is now in the process of determining whether an Equality Impact Assessment is required.
