Equalities Mainstreaming Progress Report 2020 - 2022

Foreword

Welcome to Revenue Scotland’s Equality Mainstreaming Progress Report 2022.

In March 2020, Revenue Scotland published a four year Equalities Mainstreaming Report (our 2020 Report) summarising our commitment to equalities and our approach to achieving our equalities outcomes over the period 2020-24.

At the time of that Report, we couldn’t have known the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic would have on individuals and organisations across the globe. Our service users, services and staff have been affected too.
