Coronavirus (COVID-19) - prolonged home working for Scottish Government staff: equality impact assessment

Equality impact assessment (EQIA) for prolonged home working for Scottish Government staff and new safe and secure workplace arrangements in response to COVID-19.


Screening

Policy Aim

This EQIA aims to evaluate the impact of the Scottish Government’s corporate policy on prolonged home working and Covid safety measures to return to offices, particularly on staff of one or more protected characteristic groups.

In line with Scotland’s Covid-19 Strategic Framework, Scottish Government buildings have been mostly closed with the majority of staff working from home. When buildings re-open, they will do so in accordance with the latest health and safety guidance to minimise the risk of transmission of Covid-19 for anyone accessing our buildings.
