The project provides practical and specialist support to five councils/Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs) - Edinburgh, Glasgow, Highland, Perth and Kinross and South Lanarkshire - to develop and use the equality evidence base in order to measure and evaluate progress towards equality, taking into account:
- age
- disability
- ethnicity
- gender
- religion and belief
- sexual orientation
- transgender
- social class.
It assists the councils/CPPs to identify, develop and pilot solutions and tools designed to address the challenges they face in developing an authoritative evidence base, and in implementing an outcomes approach to performance management, self-evaluation and service planning and delivery.
The project will run for 12 months.
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.
All reports and learning materials will be published on this site.
