This guidance was developed by Public Health England (PHE) and is designed to be used in conjunction with the OHID generic Health Equity Audit Tool (HEAT). It has been tailored to be more specific to issues of relevance to screening services.

Note that Public Health England was disbanded in 2021. Its functions were taken over by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) in the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), and NHS England (NHSE).
