Description:
The dataset combines population census, hospital admissions and pupil census data to provide a reference dataset with as near to whole population level coverage as possible, and with as up-to-date information as possible, of many of the protected characteristics defined under the Equality Act across Scotland. Please note that at present, this dataset is only available for access requests to deliver a proof of concept of the utility of the dataset. Research Data Scotland staff will work with researchers interested in this dataset to determine whether their study fulfils the requirements of a proof of concept. Further engagement and work on the dataset is planned.
