Does your organisation work with people who are living in Temporary Accommodation or have lived in it in recent years. Are there opinions on how to improve the current accommodation available? Have you seen the proposed standards? What do you think about the standards and those becoming part of a legal framework? Who should be the person/organisation/role that maintains standards and checks they are being upheld?

​

As consultations go, this is proving to be one that evokes lots of ideas, solutions and debates. If you have views to put forward, please make sure these are not lost. Getting this right could make a difference to the thousands of people living in a temporary solution today and in the future.

 

If you'd like us to help you respond to this / or collate your views and compile your response for you, please get in touch.

Some of societies most vulnerable people are in care homes or in reciept of care at home. Freedom of information is an exteremly important part of maintaining care and dignity for everyone, and for our more vulnerable people in Scotland, it is vital that the FOI Act provides everything needed to protect people. 

​

Does you organisation work with people to provide support in their homes, or are you a care home? What is your experience in this matter? What would be useful in terms of the next steps with this Act?

​

Maybe you have relatives in care homes and would like to respond to this consultation.
