Significant advances have been made in equal opportunities through legislation introduced through the Scottish Parliament, which has: made promotion of equality a national priority in education and put a duty on education authorities to say how they will improve equal opportunities; put a duty on Scottish Ministers, local authorities and social landlords to encourage equal opportunities and comply with equality legislation in providing housing and related services; put a duty on the Scottish Commission for Regulation of Care and Scottish Social Services Council to encourage equal opportunities and comply with equality legislation when carrying out their functions; established a statutory committee to advise on transport needs of disabled people; increased protection for those experiencing domestic abuse; recognised rights for same sex couples in cases of adults with incapacity; improved procedures in sexual offence cases, e.g. protecting rape victims from being cross-examined by the accused; put a duty on local authorities to offer eligible disabled people direct payments; repealed section 2a of Local Government Act 1986 thus removing constraints to the discussion of sexual orientation in schools.
