Equality and Human Rights Mainstreaming: Governance Framework
Sets out the Scottish Government’s approach to delivery of the Equality and Human Rights Mainstreaming Action Plan and how we will ensure senior-level ownership and visible leadership.
Aims of the Framework
The Equality and Human Rights Mainstreaming Governance Framework is designed to:
- provide clear and transparent oversight of progress against the Plan’s actions;
- ensure accountability within Government, particularly at senior levels;
- support alignment across directorates and promote cross-government collaboration;
- encourage transparency and the sharing of good practice; and
- ensure the actions contribute to the three aims of the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED).
Whilst improving delivery of the Action Plan, the Framework will support us to meet our strategic goals to strengthen leadership and develop accountability and transparency for mainstreaming equalities and human rights.
