  • Legislation  ( 15 items )

    Legislation can have a variety of purposes, including to regulate, authorise, prescribe, provide (funds), sanction, grant, declare or to restrict. It can therefore have a significant impact on services in Scotland.

    The SIAA monitor the Scottish Parliament to identify what draft legislation is being proposed and ensure that it takes into account the needs of independent advocacy organisations and the people we support. The SIAA contributes to the development of legislation by:

    •             responding to consultations on upcoming legislation

    •             giving oral and written evidence to Scottish Parliamentary committees; and,

    •             working closely with MSPs and Scottish Ministers to highlight issues affecting independent advocacy.

    There are a number of pieces of legislation which already influence our work.
