Our response
Please find attached documents which fall within the scope of your
request. You will see that personal information such as names, contact
numbers and email addresses have been redacted in keeping with section
38(1)(b) Personal Information, of the Freedom of Information (Scotland)
Act 2002.
We have not located any further information regarding the working group on
trans inclusion and women’s rights. It appears that the Commission was not
involved in that group, however please note that some members of staff are
on long term absence and so we have been unable to confirm that with every
member of staff.
