CHAPTER 9 - DIRECTORATE AND AGENCY ACTION PLANS
Background
9.1 The following pages set out action plans for the promotion of disability equality across Scottish Government directorates and agencies.
9.2 These action plans reflect the involvement of disabled people. However, we recognise that our systems for engaging with and involving disabled people are still developing. We will take action to address this and have set out in chapter 3 our plans for strengthening involvement and engagement.
Structure of the action plans
9.3 The action plans first describe the directorate or agency responsibilities and how the promotion of disability equality will help to deliver the Government's national purpose and outcomes. They then discuss what is known about the experiences of and issues for disabled people within the directorate or agency areas of responsibility. The plans then go on to list specific actions with expected outcomes, timescales and where the responsibility lies for delivering.
Coverage
9.4 Directorate and agency action plans are grouped by Ministerial portfolio. The National Archives and the Registers of Scotland have produced their own schemes, and the Scottish Courts Service and Scottish Prisons Service have produced associate schemes (see paragraphs 1.5-1.7 in chapter 1).
