Coronavirus (COVID-19): phase 3 measures - equality and fairer Scotland impact assessment

6. Conclusion

This document has set out an overview of the range of poverty and equality impacts evidenced in relation to the complex range of measures that have been taken during Phase 3. A range of impacts have been identified along with a range of mitigation activities. These are described in detail in the tables in the Annex and summarised in Section 3. Engagement with key stakeholders and the understanding of lived experience will be critical to making sure that impacts have been appropriately identified and that assessments cover a full range of issues.

In addition to the analysis of the Phase 3 measures, Section 5 of the report provides information on other policies and funding streams that Scottish Government has implemented to tackle inequality as a result of COVID-19.

We welcome your views and evidence. If you are in regular contact with policy makers in the Scottish Government please feel free to use your normal routes of engagement to provide further evidence or comments. If you are not in regular contact with policy makers in the Scottish Government or have any more general comments on both the assessment and mitigation activities please send them to Covid19OutbreakManagement@gov.scot.
