Assessing the impact of what we do
We use Equality and Children’s Rights Impact Assessments to understand how our work can help to eliminate discrimination and prejudice, reduce inequalities and uphold children’s rights.
This makes sure we are complying with our public sector equality duties, the Fairer Scotland Duty and our children’s rights obligations.
