Creating a Fairer Scotland - Planning Events

August 26, 2015

The Scottish Government is inviting you to have your say on what a Fairer Scotland should look like in 2030, and what should be done to make this vision a reality.

In addition to the conversations that are already happening, the Scottish Government wants to work with a broad mix of people across the country to prioritise practical steps that can be taken to create a fairer Scotland.

To do this, a series of local Planning Events will be taking place to allow a broadly representative audience to hear, discuss, prioritise and take action on ideas to create a Fairer Scotland. These planning events provide a chance for people to think about and prioritise ideas that will help make Scotland a fairer place to live and make a real impact on Scotland's future.

The priorities that come from these planning events will feed into a final Fairer Scotland Forum in December. The Fairer Scotland Forum will host a broadly representative audience made up of people from across the country who will work with policy makers, experts, and political representatives to create a series of recommendations on how we can all work to create a Fairer Scotland.

The Planning Events will take place on the following dates:

• Kilmarnock, Tuesday 29th September, Register Interest here
• Inverness, Wednesday 7th October, Register Interest here
• Midlothian, Wednesday 14th October, Register Interest here
• Dumfries, Tuesday 20th October, Register Interest here

• Dundee, Thursday 5th November, Register Interest here
• Inverclyde, Tuesday, 10th November, Register Interest here

Please note that registering Interest to take part does not guarantee a place due to venue capacity & need for event audience to be broadly representative of the local area.
