The SIAA uses briefings to give MSPs and other decision makers any evidence, case studies and positions we hold on particular issues and therefore influence their discussions.

They are used to inform Parliamentary debates, committee meetings, and other key events where Independent Advocacy and matters affecting Independent Advocacy are relevant.

We are always interested in comments and further evidence from members in relation to issues we are working on. If you have any comments on any of the briefings below please contact Erin Townhill at etownhill@siaa.org.uk or by phone on 0131 260 5381.
