Scottish Attainment Challenge - 2018-2022: equality impact assessment

The Scope of the EQIA

This EQIA has considered the potential impact of the Attainment Challenge on children and young people with protected characteristics in school education to identify possible chances to advance equalities of opportunity for children and young people with protected characteristics. As the Attainment Challenge targets activity and resources to children and young people affected by poverty, this is a particular focus of the analysis. It is acknowledged that the Attainment Challenge has the potential to impact on all children and young people in school education and in particular on those children and young people with protected characteristics who are more likely to be within the targeted work.
