22. Refer to Definitions of Protected Characteristics document for information on the characteristics

23. 'Scarring' refers to the idea that people could face reduced pay and reduced employment prospects even after the economy has recovered.

24. Note that due to the Covid-19 pandemic affecting survey methodology, the results of the SHS 2020 telephone survey are not directly comparable to SHS results for previous years.

25. The issue of child poverty is discussed in more detail the NSET's Evidence Paper, however, we recognise that there are instances during pregnancy and early months of maternity that are likely to drive child poverty further. An intersectional approach should therefore be taken to consider the relationship between child poverty and pregnancy and maternity.

26. The Scottish Government does not require assessment against this Protected Characteristic unless the policy or practice relates to work, for example HR policies and practices - refer to Definitions of Protected Characteristics document for details.

27. We are discussing neurodiversity under a separate heading to include the experiences of different people as we appreciate that not all neurodivergent people consider themselves to be disabled. At the same time, under the Equality Act 2010, neurodivergent conditions meet the legal definition of disability.

28. In respect of this Protected Characteristic, a body subject to the Public Sector Equality Duty (which includes the Scottish Government) only needs to comply with the first need of the duty (to eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under the Equality Act 2010) and only in relation to work. This is because the parts of the Act covering services and public functions, premises, education etc. do not apply to that Protected Characteristic. Equality impact assessment within the Scottish Government does not require assessment against the Protected Characteristic of Marriage and Civil Partnership unless the policy or practice relates to work, for example HR policies and practices.
