20 Dec 2023To ask the Scottish Government what objectives it set for any funding that it provided to Grampian Regional Equality Council Ltd in 2022.
The answer
Grampian Regional Equality Council receives funding from the Scottish Government’s Equality & Human Rights Fund (EHRF). High-level EHRF outcomes are set out in Grant Offer Letters, and are as follows:
• People with protected characteristics have increased influence in decisions that affect them;
• the Scottish Government has better access to data and depth of information about the experiences of people with protected characteristics;
• the experience of people with protected characteristics is increasingly used to inform the policy and practice of public bodies; and
• public services increasingly embed equality and human rights in their strategic planning and their day-to-day functions.
Inspiring Scotland are the fund managers for the EHRF, acting on behalf of the Scottish Government. Inspiring Scotland engage with organisations directly to agree on workplans and set specific objectives and outcomes.
