Social Security Scotland Register of Interests 2024-25

The framework is a list of measures co-designed with people with lived experience of the social security system. The measures relate to the commitments set out in Our Charter. Every year we collect relevant and available information and data for the measures, put it into the framework and then publish the results. Last year’s framework contained data for 2021-22. You can find out more about the purpose of the framework and how it was made in the Social Security Scotland Charter Measurement Framework and the Charter Measurement Framework Co-Design report and summary.
