The Executive commissioned a review of race equality last year to consider, among other things, priorities in communities, Executive funding, and the infrastructure required to deliver effective race equality and community cohesion. As part of the evidence gathering process, a mapping exercise of race equality activity in the public sector was undertaken which used bodies’ Race Equality Schemes. The purpose of this mapping exercise report was to contribute to the body of knowledge informing the review. It was not to evaluate whether and to what extent Scottish public bodies are fulfilling their legal duties related to race relations. The report of the mapping exercise is available on the Executive’s One Scotland website, www.infoscotland.com.
The Commission for Racial Equality has statutory powers to enforce compliance with the statutory duty to promote race equality. The commission keeps ministers informed of Scottish public authorities’ progress towards meeting the duty. For further information about this matter, you may wish to contact:
