Equalities Mainstreaming report 2025 (pdf, 473.4 KB)Executive summary
At Registers of Scotland (RoS), we support the people and businesses of Scotland by managing public registers of land, property and other legal documents. As a public organisation, we have legal duties under the Equality Act (2010).
This report focuses on our efforts to mainstream equality under the Public Sector Equality Duty. It provides an update on our 2023 mainstreaming outcomes and sets out our next steps from 2025 to 2027.
Summary of our progress
We have progressed all four outcomes we set in 2023.
| 2023 outcome | Progress | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Outcome 1: We will have more D&I data, and will be using it to measure impact | Completed most planned activity. Our current focus is on supporting colleagues across RoS to use D&I data in their own decision-making, as appropriate | Expect to close by end March 2027 |
| Outcome 2: We will have more disabled, minoritised ethnic and younger people in RoS | Focused activity on attracting diverse talent and improving recruitment processes. Continuing to work through our end-to-end resourcing strategy and processes | Expect to carry this long-term outcome into 2027 |
| Outcome 3: We will be more inclusive and accessible, guided by lived experience | Embedded approach to capturing lived experience. Evidence shows a need to now focus on improving experiences of disabled colleagues | Expect to carry into 2027, with evolving focus |
| Outcome 4: We will have a more accessible learning offer and more D&I learning content | Developed and delivered a range of D&I learning and improved accessibility. This work will continue over the next two years | Expect to close by end March 2027 |
In 2027, in addition to carrying over outcomes 2 and 3 above, we will publish new outcomes.
