COVID-19 survey
If you have few minutes to spare, please contribute to Scottish Government's research on barriers to compliance and adherence around COVID-19.

Survey link: The survey is available online at: https://consult.gov.scot/covid-19/potential-barriers-to-adherence-with-restrictions. It will close on 18 December.
 

Social Security Benefits
One of our colleagues in Glasgow Life is consulting individuals who are entitled to benefits such as Tax Credits, Universal Credit, Housing Benefit etc . The purpose of the consultation is to get an understanding of their current knowledge of newly devolved Social Security Scotland Benefits. There are also a few questions that will help them identify the best way to communicate the information on these benefits and recognise community needs around getting the message out.

This survey takes about 2 to 3 minutes  to complete:

Stay safe everyone and enjoy the festive period!
