This is the first national multi-agency Framework for Adult Support and Protection Learning and Development. It has been produced to support the delivery of Adult Support and Protection learning across applicable agencies and sectors.
The guidance aims to provide a framework that can be used across Scotland, with a view to improving the quality and efficacy of Large Scale Investigations (LSIs). The guidance also aims to achieve greater consistency across Scotland in how LSIs are commenced, conducted, concluded and reported on. The guidance supports using LSIs as a planned and structured intervention wherever possible, while recognising that LSIs will also need to be flexible and respond to changing circumstances.
This is a seven-minute briefing of the first national multi-agency Framework for Adult Support and Protection Learning and Development. The framework has been produced to support the delivery of Adult Support and Protection learning. Within it, core competencies are set out for each different workforce level (illustrated in this briefing).
The Scottish Mental Health Law Review (SMHLR) was commissioned in 2019. It was tasked with considering ways to better realise and protect human rights through Scotland's mental health, incapacity and adult support and protection legislation. The Review also looked at ways to remove barriers to care and support for people currently covered by the legislation. The Review’s final report was published in September 2022 and recommends a series of changes to legislation. It also proposes a range of changes to policy and practice in the short, medium, and longer term.
This guidance is to support fair payment for people's time and expenses in co-production and/or participation projects, including research projects.

The progress report by Scottish Government is in relation to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). The original action plan, which this report assess progress on, was published in 2016. It was informed by evidence and consultation with the direct involvement of disabled people and Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs).
The action plan, and this report, is based on the social model of disability (as opposed to the medical model of disability).
This guidance supports NHS organisations to increase the number of people with learning disabilities employed in NHS services. The accompanying toolkit aims to raise awareness, provide information on reasonable adjustments, and break down some of the barriers that both employers and potential employees may face. It aims to help create a culture which welcomes people with learning disabilities and promotes equitable access to job opportunities.
Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC) is Scottich Government's commitment to provide all children, young people and their families with the right support at the right time.
The GIRFEC principles and values are based on children's rights. GIRFEC contains eight wellbeing indicators (SHANARRI) that describe how a child or young person is doing at a point in time.
GIFRE is a multi-agency approach to health and social care support and services from young adulthood to end of life care. It is Scotland’s approach to designing and delivering public services that focus on people’s needs. It makes sure services work well for everyone who uses them.
A toolkit is included, which is designed to directly addresses the real challenges and needs of those accessing care and support.
