The enforceable right to access information is a human right so it’s good news that Scotland’s independent regulator has reported a busy year ensuring rights and duties are respected, protected and fulfilled. @hrcscotland.bsky.social @thre-equal.bsky.social @scvo.scot @reidfoundation.bsky.social
The Scottish Information Commissioner has revealed a record-breaking year in the 2024-25 Annual Report!

Women's sport has is more popular than ever - that should mean sport is becoming more equal, right?

We enjoyed reading @chrisboardman.bsky.social's piece for @theobserveruk.bsky.social on what more there is to be done for sports to truly be a safe, welcoming space for all genders ⬇️

Equality isn't about treating everyone the same ❌

It's about addressing the different barriers people face to accessing their rights.

Check out Derek Mitchell's blog for @thirdforcenews.bsky.social to learn about what this looks like in remote & rural Scotland ⬇️

We've been looking at the numbers when it comes to charities and AI🧑‍💻

76% of charities (2025 Charities Digital Report) are now using AI in their day-to-day work, but only a fraction of organisations have policies in place or are training staff on AI use (JRF, 2024).
