Fair Work Oversight Group

Overview

The purpose of the Fair Work Oversight Group is to advise and challenge the Scottish Government, driving progress of the actions detailed in the 2022 Fair Work Action Plan. This includes those relating to the Anti-Racist Employment Strategy.

It’s remit also includes the wider delivery of Fair Work across government and development of annual updates to the relevant Parliamentary committee. 

It also:

• brings key stakeholders together 
• enables taking an intersectional approach to equality issues
• supports and shares ways of making improvements in practice
• considers how to resolve issues and challenges 
• supports the National Strategy of Economic Transformation (NSET) governance process

The group will meet in the middle and at the end of the calendar year, before the annual report is submitted to parliament.
