Skills Development Scotland's Equality Scheme explains in detail how we plan to comply with the new October 2010 equality legislation. Our Equality Scheme demonstrates our aim of going beyond compliance and providing examples of good practice in equality within the public sector
Cross cutting everything we do is our commitment to equality of
opportunity. In our role as a service provider, we are
committed to taking practical steps to ensure equality of access
for all of our customers. We are also committed to promoting
equality in our capacity as an employer, as a buyer of services and
in how we work in partnership with others. This commitment,
and our contribution to tackling inequalities in Scottish society,
is incorporated in our performance framework.
We intend to go beyond the requirements set out in the Equality
Act 2010 and aspire to be a leader in equality within the public
sector. We plan to create innovative and meaningful
approaches to promoting equal opportunities which can be used as
examples of good practice within other organisations.
The Equality Scheme is also available in an Easy Read
version.
