This audit owes much to the co-operation of all those who took the time and trouble to
respond to our requests for research literature (both published and unpublished). The support
provided by the libraries of the Planning Exchange, the Glasgow Unit of SEMRU, Age
Concern and Edinburgh College of Art/Heriot Watt University was also very helpful.
The authors would also like to express our appreciation to all those who provided us with
many helpful suggestions through the peer review process, which preceded the writing of the
final report. We would also like to acknowledge the contribution of Alan Bell in the writing of
the chapter on education, and Leaders at Work for the design and development of the
electronic database. In particular, we would like to thank Nicola Edge, the project manager at
the Central Research Unit, for her prompt and efficient support, throughout the duration of
this work.TABLE OF CONTENTS

1.1 This chapter sets out the context within which the audit of research on minority ethnic
people has been commissioned. It describes the main objectives, focus and scope, and the
theoretical stance that has been adopted in conducting the audit. The chapter also provides a
brief description of the minority ethnic population in Scotland, considers some methodological
issues and describes the structure and terminology used.
CONTEXT
1.2 Several developments have raised the prominence of issues relating to the social
exclusion of minority ethnic groups in Scotland over recent years. These have included a
consultation exercise on the draft Social Inclusion Strategy published in March 1998; the work
of the Government’s Social Exclusion Network (SEN) and the Scottish Social Inclusion
Network (SSIN); the awarding of Social Inclusion Partnership (SIP) funding to the minority
ethnic initiatives in Glasgow and Fife; and the establishment of the Race Equality Advisory
Forum (REAF). These latter initiatives coincided with an announcement by the Scottish
thExecutive, on the 25 February 1999, of the need for a Scottish response to the
recommendations of the Macpherson (1999) report on the inquiry into the murder of Stephen
Lawrence.
1.3 These developments have highlighted the need for up-to-date, comprehensive
information concerning the circumstances of Scotland’s minority ethnic groups. The two key
existing sources of quantitative data remain the 1991 Census and the Scottish Office (1991)
Survey. While both continue to be used, their relevance has diminished over the last decade.
Further quantitative data will be available from the 2001 Census and the Scottis
