What We Are Doing

The Scottish Government is committed to tackling racism and discrimination, and encouraging respect for the diversity of the people of Scotland.

On this website, we will be keeping you up to date with the latest campaign news relating to Scotland's fight against racism.

The Scottish Government is taking forward a comprehensive programme of work to promote race equality and tackle discrimination and racism in Scotland. On 8 December 2008 Ministers published a Race Equality Statement which outlines the Government's priorities for race equality over 2008-2011. The Statement is part of a package of measures which provide a focus for our work on race equality, including the Race, Religion & Refugee Integration Funding Stream 2008-11 which has allocated £5.6m to projects around Scotland and the Government's Race Equality Scheme 2008, which was published on 28 November.
