Description

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) promotes and enforces the laws
that protect our rights to fairness, dignity and respect. We are the National
Equality Body (NEB) for Scotland, England and Wales, working across the nine
protected characteristics set out in the Equality Act 2010: age, disability,
race, religion or belief, pregnancy and maternity, marriage and civil
partnership, sex, sexual orientation and gender reassignment.

The Scotland Committee is a statutory decision-making committee and is
responsible for ensuring the overall work of the Commission reflects the needs
and priorities of the people of Scotland. The Committee has delegated powers
to: provide information, advice and guidance and, to conduct research in
Scotland. The Scotland Committee has identified the need to undertake research
which explores social security systems in a number of other jurisdictions,
focusing on aspects of systems based on dignity and respect.

The aims of this project are:
• To provide EHRC Scotland with evidence on aspects of social security systems
elsewhere that offer examples of best practice and could be said to be founded
on the principles of dignity and respect.
• To provide evidence on how these mechanisms have been devised, implemented
and measured elsewhere, and how these could potentially be applied to
Scotland's new social security system.
