The term 'equal opportunities' covers the discrimination of, or proactive action for, a wide variety of minority groups, all of which must be included when equal opportunities are being considered. It is defined within the Scotland Act 1998 as '
the prevention, elimination or regulation of discrimination between persons on grounds of sex or marital status, on racial grounds, or on grounds of disability, age, sexual orientation, language or social origin, or of other personal attributes, including beliefs or opinions, such as religious beliefs or political opinions'
Hmmm and thats the definition copied and pasted. Hope this helps Shaun.
I apologise for making you laugh.
