We measure the impact of our designs so we can create the most accessible spaces for everyone
我们的每个人都战略，描述了我们在三个主题上的多样性和融合方法：访问和包含;行为和基准;和合作。
它突出显示：
we will make diversity and inclusion considerations part of the business as usual, particularly as new areas of work arise and changes to our policies, projects and investment decisions are made.
Following our reclassification in September 2014, we also need to show we’re responding positively to the Public Sector Equality Duty, which is part of theEquality Act 2010. Under this Act, public bodies and organisations that carry out public functions have to consider everyone’s needs when doing so.
例如，对于我们来说，这意味着思考如何最好地制作老年和残疾人乘客可访问的站点和脚踏织机。
What is a Diversity Impact Assessment (DIA)?
这是我们选择嵌入多样性和包容性的方法，并证明我们符合我们的公共部门平等职责。像风险评估过程一样，DIA是一个帮助任何程序，政策和项目的工具 - 以及服务设计，建造和运营的方式 - 为员工和乘客提供良好的工作方式。
It anticipates the likely effects of the work on the characteristics protected by the Equality Act: age; disability; sex; gender reassignment; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sexual orientation; and marriage and civil partnerships – in short, everyone.
Once any potential negative impacts have been identified, the DIA can be used to plan ways to remove or mitigate these, where possible. DIAs can also be used to promote best practice.
使用Dia提高我们对乘客的知识，并对潜在的访问障碍的理解意味着我们可以提高安全性和性能，为客户提供更好的铁路。
如果您有兴趣在您感兴趣的项目中是否已完成DIA，请联系我们diversityandinclusion@networkrail.co.uk
我们将每六个月发布每六个新的DIA。
