SCPO Briefing Papers

Posted Friday 21 March 2008

The SCPO Briefing Paper on Poverty Strategy, covering recent reports by the Scottish Affairs Committee and the current Scottish Government consultation now available for downloading on the SCPO website.

Among new consultations are Scottish Government proposals on “A Fairer Local Tax” and on a National Delivery Plan for Specialist Children’s Services, there are petitions on water charges (church exemptions) and the impact of funeral costs, and much about rural schools. At Westminster, there are the Justice Committee’s review of devolution, and a consultation on “the path to citizenship”.

SCPO (in partnership with the Church of Scotland) has produced material designed to encourage church congregations and groups to take part in the “National Conversation” entitled “Choosing Scotland’s Future”. This material is now available on the SCPO website.

'Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life: raise us, who trust in him, from the death of sin to the life of righteousness, that we may seek those things which are above, where he reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.'
