Equality and human rights mainstreaming action plan
Brings together 61 equality and human rights mainstreaming actions from across the Scottish Government in one accessible plan, supporting equality, diversity and inclusion in policy and practice.
Monitoring and Reporting
The Action Plan will be reported on and updated each year, and we will explore the potential to align the Mainstreaming Action Plan reporting with statutory reporting duties to support accessibility.
The next step will be the creation of a robust governance framework to support the monitoring of this plan and to drive progress against the actions it contains. This framework will set out clear structures for oversight, accountability, and delivery. In line with Action 1, we intend to publish this new governance framework by Summer 2026.
The framework will be designed to:
- provide clear oversight of progress against actions
- ensure accountability, especially with senior leaders within Government
- support alignment across directorates and promote cross-government collaboration
- encourage transparency and the sharing of good practice
We will continue to reflect on stakeholder feedback around governance and undertake further engagement as the framework is developed.
