Collecting equality data
Currently, there is no fully tested recommended question with which to collect information on gender identity in surveys or other data sources. A recent project carried out for the Equality and Human Rights Commission began work into this and the Scottish Government is considering future work in this area.
Note: Currently the data collection guidance on gender/sex is under review. Please contact social-justice-analysis@gov.scot for further guidance on this
