It would be great to get a copy of that. An example of those templates would also be very interesting.
I have a question on the local authorities, which is an area that was identified and relates to this. The question relates to how the public duty on equality, which we have had in Ireland since 2015, and equality budgeting tend to intersect. Is it the public duty helping to drive the equality budgeting.? Is the fact of having to deliver on quality budgeting driving the public duty? How are those intersecting? They all come together in terms of performance framework. Will Professor O'Hagan discuss the dynamic between those two tools for equality?
I am chair of the all-party interest group on the sustainable development goals, SDGs. We are trying to figure out how the sustainable development goals are embedded. Scotland has the experience of trying to embed equality budgeting prior to bringing in the SDGs. Will Professor O'Hagan comment on whether there has been any useful learning in that regard? Would she like to add anything in that regard?
