Gender Reassignment
The equality impact assessment for the Gender Recognition Reform Scotland Bill states that, as of May 2018 around 0.5 percent of the Scottish population were estimated to be trans.
Across the Scottish Police Authority, in terms of those who have chosen not to disclose, this figure has decreased slightly from 4 percent in 2020, 4 percent in 2021 and 3.78 percent in 2022.
Whilst the available data does not provide opportunity for any meaningful insight, engagement with diversity staff associations will continue to seek to better understand steps to support a trans inclusive workplace.
