Equal opportunities and the Scottish Parliament: a progress review
This review was commissioned by the Equality and Human Rights Commission in Scotland in order to contribute to understanding of the progress made by the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government in using the equal opportunities powers granted under the Scotland Act 1998. This is the first review to be undertaken of how the powers are presented and understood by stakeholders and policy makers. It provides an initial assessment of the impact of the equal opportunities duties on the design and delivery of devolved policies. This review focuses on the situation in relation to health, education, local government and transport.
