2. Throughout the Framework, 'positive action' refers to positive action permitted under Section 158 of the Equality Act 2010. This is action taken to enable people with protected characteristics to overcome disadvantage, to meet the needs of people with protected characteristics or enable their participation. Additional positive action powers set out under Section 159 of the Equality Act 2010 allow organisations to take account of protected characteristics in making decisions on the appointment or promotion of two equally qualified candidates. Whilst organisations taking positive action as a result of this Framework may opt to use the powers under Section 159, the work undertaken in support of the Framework will focus on the powers under Section 158.

The 'Mixed', 'Black/Black British', 'African', 'Caribbean', 'Chinese' and 'Other' ethnic groups all have sample sizes that are too small to reliably report on their own. Thus they have been combined into a single category so that they can be reported. Source: http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Social-Welfare/IncomePoverty/CoreAnalysis

23. The 2011 Census asked 'How is your health in general?' The response categories were: 'Very Good', 'Good', 'Fair', 'Bad', 'Very Bad'. This analysis considers those who answered either 'Bad' or 'Very Bad' to have 'poor general health'. The analysis employs age-standardised rates to compare people of similar age, which avoids the often misleading direct comparisons between populations with very different age structures.
