Equalities Outcomes and Mainstreaming report

SCRA’s Equality Outcomes and Mainstreaming Progress Report has been published today, Thursday 28 March 2019.

The report, which covers a two year period from April 2017, looks at the work we have been doing to mainstream equality, diversity and inclusion across SCRA and all of our services.

Susan Deery, SCRA’s Head of HR said: “Inclusivity is key to who we are and to achieving all of our outcomes. We are fully committed to providing an environment based on fairness, equality, cultural diversity, dignity and respect where everyone is supported to flourish and fulfil their potential, irrespective of their sex, gender identity, care experience, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, faith, age, or socio-economic background.”

The progress reports covers a number of areas, including the work of our Equalities Network and by our Equalities Ambassadors. The report also includes two supporting documents – one provides a summary of activities to achieve SCRA’s equality outcomes and the second report provides information about Employee Monitoring Data.

Karen Wallace, SCRA’s Equalities lead added: “Being inclusive makes us better at everything that we do and helps us to attract the kind of diverse, expert and dedicated talent we need to recruit and retain in SCRA.

“A more inclusive culture improves our daily lives and enhances our capacity to recognise and respond to the diverse and unique needs of the children, young people and their families whom we serve.”
