| Synopsis: |
The Commission for Equality and Human Rights in Scotland has a key role in both developing the law and in providing legal advice and assistance in cases involving equality issues. The Committee recommends that the Scottish Directorate of the Commission take up the need for developing and funding legal advice and assistance in the equality field with the Scottish Government. The Committee heard evidence that the Commission is still trying to find its feet in Scotland and carve out its distinctive role cutting across both reserved and devolved responsibilities and is concerned that in doing so it may be tempted in directions that leads it outside of the purpose for which it was established. The Scottish Directorate of the Equality and Human Rights Commission should take forward its plan to publish its own Scottish strategic plan, setting out how it intends to prioritise and resource its work in tackling both Scottish aspects of the Commission's Britain-wide goals and the specifically Scottish issues relevant to its remit which it has identified. |
