ALT We applaud the Scottish Government on becoming the first government in the world to publish a time-bound range of deliverable actions specifically for non-binary people. The Non-Binary Equality Action Plan sets out the steps the Scottish Government will take over the next five years to address the inequalities and barriers faced by non-binary people. The commitments within the plan span six key themes - including healthcare and data and research - which seek to holistically advance non-binary equality in Scotland. We are supportive of the plan and welcome the Scottish Government's efforts to respond to the Working Group on Non-Binary Equality's recommendations within their proposed actions.
