Coronavirus (COVID-19) Highest Risk (formerly Shielding) List end: equality and fairer Scotland impact assessment
This presents an assessment of any differential impact on each of the protected characteristics of the decision to end Scotland’s Covid Highest Risk List, formerly the Shielding List and considers any possible inequality of outcomes of the policy due to socio-economic differences.
5. Mitigations
5.1 The following mitigations are either in place or planned which will address the differential impacts for those on the highest risk list with protected characteristics to eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation, advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not, and foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not and/or from disadvantaged socio-economic groups. Overall we have sought to enable through, review of the evidence, engaging with stakeholders and engagement and communication with people on the Highest Risk List.
