Improving Local Equality Data

The Commission are working in partnership with the Improvement Service and Scottish Government to deliver this action research project. The project provides practical and specialist support to four councils - Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth and Kinross and South Lanarkshire - to develop and use the equality evidence base in order to measure and evaluate progress toward key outcomes for their area. 

A series of reports and workshops, capturing both the learning from participating councils and broader issues relevant to the outcomes approach and improving the equality evidence base, will be produced throughout the project. The project team will also engage with a wide range of public bodies so they too can benefit from the learning, issues and good practice emerging from the project.

Our 'Learning Point: Exploring the Use of the Equality Measurement Framework' paper sets out and discusses a range of issues, challenges and learning regarding how the Equality Measurement Framework can be used as a practical tool at the local level. All future reports and learning materials will be published on this page.
