Bankruptcy and Attachment (Miscellaneous Amendment) (Scotland) Regulations 2026: equality impact assessment

The Scope of the EQIA

These Regulations bring forward stakeholder-led recommendations to widen access to MAP bankruptcy and improve diligence. Throughout the development of these Regulations, AiB has engaged with and listened to stakeholders, refining proposals to reflect their feedback. This has included discussions with a range of stakeholder groups including money advice professionals, insolvency professionals, creditor bodies, sheriff officers and academics.

No equality issues were identified, and no changes were made to the Regulations as a direct result of equality impact analysis.
