QUESTIONS TO ASK
Do we need to sequence our responses to any adverse human rights impacts we
have identified or are they such that we can address them all in parallel?
If we need to prioritize them in order to sequence our responses, do we have a
means of assessing the severity of our impacts?
Do our systems for assessing the severity of impacts take account of scope, scale
and remediability?
Do they reflect that if a potential impact is severe, it should be a priority for action,
regardless of its probability?
Do they pay particular attention to individuals belonging to vulnerable groups who
may suffer the most severe human rights impact?
Do they identify situations where a delay in responding to an actual impact may
make it harder to remedy?
Once the most severe human rights impacts have been addressed, do our systems
automatically move on to the next most severe impacts until all have been addressed?
