What we're reading
National CLD Workforce Survey is now live
The purpose of this survey is to capture workforce data, building on what we found in the last survey conducted in 2018. The survey includes topics on staff and volunteer numbers, focus on CLD activities, qualifications, career plans, and challenges for the CLD workforce.
Gender Budgeting Toolkit
Gender budget analysis looks at budgets through the lens of
gender equity. It is a process that can be introduced incrementally (by looking at individual policy areas) and built upon over time, or it can be used to look at a budget as a whole.
Draft Climate Change Plan consultation
The draft Climate Change Plan includes the policies and proposals that Scotland needs to end our contribution to increasing global emissions and deliver real benefits for people across Scotland – warmer homes, better air quality, and the health benefits of active travel – to support people in our communities to live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives. Closes 29 January.
