The EHIA assesses the proposed Mental Health Place Based Plan for Brighton & Hove, which aims to improve accommodation and support pathways for people with mental health needs. It identifies a positive overall equality impact, provided that engagement is accessible and targeted at underrepresented and disadvantaged groups.

Recommendation

Proceed with the planned engagement work and use its findings, together with this EHIA, to develop the Place Based Accommodation and Mental Health Plan, including its priorities and future service model. Mitigations should include alternative languages and formats, accessible surveys, women-only engagement, and targeted engagement with BAME, Jewish, LGBTQ+, disabled and other marginalised communities.
