Equality and diversity
Education Scotland is committed to eliminating discrimination and promoting equality and diversity.
We will ensure equal opportunities for all staff and our stakeholders. This includes ‘protected characteristic’ groups. We will ensure we can:
- identify groups at risk of not benefiting fully from education and take action to meet their needs
- help all learners develop the understanding of equality and diversity issues essential for responsible citizens in the 21st century
This strategy sets out how Education Scotland assess the impact of new and existing policies, practices and procedures, as set out in the Equality Act 2010.
