To ask the Scottish Executive whether an equality impact assessment has been carried out as part of the decision-making process that has led to the cessation of funding for the Scottish Sensory Centre as of 31 March 2011.

The answer

The Scottish Government has a strong commitment to equality and to tackling disadvantage and inequality. Equality contributes to our national purpose and economic targets and to a fairer and more inclusive Scotland. An equality statement on each Government portfolio, including Education and Lifelong Learning, is contained within Equality Statement Scotland''s Budget 2011-12. This equality statement provides a summary of the action that the Scottish Government has taken to ensure its equality impact assessment has been considered within the Scottish budget process. Through this budget, the Scottish Government is protecting the national services working directly with the most vulnerable children and young people.
