This timely seminar examined key issues for implementing Scotland’s Social Security Act, and considered the way forward for Scotland’s social security system more widely.


The agenda included discussion on the setting up of the Social Security Agency, in particular detail regarding the timeline for implementation as well as insight into the recruitment philosophy of the organisation.


Further sessions assessed the latest thinking on tackling poverty and deprivation beyond the social security system, including issues around in-work poverty, improving skills and enhancing employability, and increasing access to housing. In particular, delegates assessed the priorities for tackling child poverty in Scotland.
