About CLD and equality

Community learning and development can benefit people who are disadvantaged because of personal characteristics, such as age, gender, disability, ethnic origin, faith or sexual orientation.

Equality and the law

A strong legal framework supports equality in Scotland. Find out what this means for practitioners, services and organisations.

Approaches to equality

The basis of equality in CLD is not about treating everyone exactly the same. The Scottish Government emphasises the need to ensure that equalities groups receive particular support in CLD delivery.

Developing CLD work with equality in mind

It is important to understand the needs and issues affecting different groups and to plan, deliver and promote activities accordingly.

Developing your organisation to support equality

Everyone in your organisation needs to recognise the importance of equality and, in particular, of work with equalities groups in the CLD field.
