Gathering Equality Evidence
Gathering evidence that helps us to understand the causes of inequalities and being able to assess whether policies are helping to tackle the inequalities is vital.
Introduction
The Scottish Government and its partners have been working to improve the quantity and quality of equality evidence which we gather.
