By putting young people's voices first, like Susanne's, we can ensure YP are heard & their experiences are valued & inputted into talks about their future. To build on our transformational partnerships with @GlasgowCC & beyond, we will continue to listen. https://t.co/KIZ22E55yA

We were delighted to welcome @ShonaRobison and @BenMacpherson to our Board meeting this week to discuss SCoSS’s key role in supporting the development of a robust Scottish Social Security system that meets its full potential to improve outcomes for the people of Scotland.

"We know what needs to be done. Let’s do it."
Michael Marmot on the need to increase the value of social security and ensure that everyone in work is paid at least a Living Wage, to protect people's health and protect people from poverty.
We agree!

As we wait to see whether Scottish Government politicians have the courage to make the positive changes recommended by the Feeley report there's never been a more important time for the voices of people using social care support to be heard.
Our new report on draft uprating regulations welcomes @scotgov plan to increase level of some benefits by more than agreed inflation measure. But we note a need for clarity on strategic approach and evidence base, particularly if uprating isn't routine.

With COVID chaos, mentoring matters even more. Great to close out 2020 & into a brighter 2021. Become an @mcrpathways mentor to ensure a young person can realise their potential & overcome every challenge. You really will make but also experience a lifechanging difference.
At heart of the debate is what we think #homecare is? - for me it is about enabling a life to be lived to the full - you cannot squeeze a relationship into 15 mins - you get transaction and task not life and purpose #homecareday@drjanetownson@scottishcare @ukhca
Interested in #SocialSecurity in Scotland? Our new report describes @TheScoss vision for the Scottish social security system and our independent role. It also sets out our main work to date and explains our future priorities. We'd welcome your feedback.

It's great news that Jim - a member of the People-led Policy Panel among many other roles - is to be on this. It's so important that people using social care support are heard if the review is to deliver long-awaited meaningful change for, and with, them and their families.
