Diversity and inclusion strategy: equality impact assessment

Executive summary

Diverse experience, skills, thinking and background create, support and deliver better policies, services and decisions. We want our workplace culture to enable us to do our best, bring out the best in each other and deliver our best for the people of Scotland.

This diversity and inclusion strategy is a call to action to all leaders, managers and employees in the Scottish Government to disrupt the status quo, to adapt, innovate and to challenge with psychological safety.

This strategy puts inclusion at the heart of advancing equality in our workplace.

Recognising we cannot advance in all areas at once, but that there are priority areas where we must shift the dial right now.
