|---|---|
| 2007: National Performance Framework for Scotland | The National Performance Framework (NPF) in Scotland was first created by the Scottish Government in 2007. This framework was introduced to set out the government's vision for the collective wellbeing of Scotland and to guide its approach to achieving that vision. The NPF was designed to be a strategic tool, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and focusing on a balanced approach to economic, social, and environmental progress. |
| 2016: Scotland SPL – Race Equality Framework (REF) for Scotland 2016 to 2030 | In 2016, the Scottish Government published the Race Equality Framework (REF) for Scotland. CRER provided the Scottish Government with independent support in the development and delivery of the Framework. The content of the Framework was developed with input from key stakeholders and drafted collaboratively, with the Scottish Government and CRER both contributing and editing on an ongoing basis. The REF sets out how the Scottish Government aims to progress this ambition over a 15-year period from 2016 to 2030. In this document there is vision for Scotland in 2030 to be a country “where people are healthier, happier and treated with respect, and where opportunities, wealth and power are more equally spread. |

As such, there is a need to ensure there is an ongoing focus on implementing the REF that may have been lost through pivoting to responding to the pandemic. A significant proportion of the ERG recommendations focus on systemic and structural change. A key recommendation of the ERG was to establish an external body to provide a range of functions, including oversight and governance. Recommendation 7 was to set up external governance to review race equality work, and the formation of an observatory |
