Conclusion
The conclusion of this initial equality impact assessment is that there are no adverse impacts on any part of the community covered by equalities legislation, or on community relations. The Race Equality Scheme has been written in close consultation with members of our community and workforce and is intended to positively impact on the attitudes, working practices and opportunities for those living in the South Lanarkshire area. The scheme sets out an action plan which is regularly updated and which informs the work of each resource. It is a key part of our overall Equality and Diversity Strategy and links closely to our Disability and Gender Equality Schemes.
