In this eighth edition of our newsletter, we are sharing project updates, our accessibility offers and news about some research coming up. Thank you to everyone who has taken part in our research projects.

Social Security Scotland’s Model Framework sets out the relationship between the Executive Agency and Scottish Government. It provides a summary of the key roles and responsibilities of our Chief Executive; our Portfolio Accountable Officer, and the Permanent Secretary of the Scottish Government, and how they work together with Scottish Ministers to deliver the Scottish social security system effectively. The Framework will be reviewed every 3 years and any significant changes must be approved by Scottish Ministers.

This report presents the results from the Social Security Scotland Disability Payments Client Survey. Fieldwork ran from 7 May to 3 June 2024.

Our Corporate Plan sets out what we will do to deliver on our responsibilities in the future. It shows how our service will look over the next three years and outlines the objectives we have set ourselves to get us there.

Our Business Plan sets out what we will deliver. The main focus of the Business Plan is our key activities for the year ahead. These are set out as ‘priorities’, with each ‘priority’ detailing what will be delivered to ensure that we continue to make progress against our commitments. More information about our commitments and objectives is available in our Corporate Plan. The Business Plan also includes some information on how we will report on each ‘priority’ and how we will measure the quality of the service we provide to our clients.
