As a result of the disability, gender and race equality duties, sportscotland is required to conduct equity impact assessments (EQIA) on all our policies and functions.
The aim of the EQIA process is to ensure that sportscotland’s existing or proposed policies and activities do not disadvantage people because of their disability, gender, race or ethnicity. sportscotland is not yet required by law to conduct EQIAs which consider the impact of religion or belief, sexual orientation or age on our policy development process: however, because we are committed to ensuring equity is mainstreamed throughout our work, our EQIA process does incorporate these three strands.
sportscotland's approach to equity impact assessment is outlined in our Single Equity Scheme, which can be found by clicking the link opposite.
Our equity impact assessment timetable is available above.
Summary reports on the equity impact assessments we have already completed can also be downloaded from this page. The full EQIA reports can also be accessed from the summaries.
