Scottish Government Prevention Unit: publications and resources

Publications, tools and resources on preventative approaches to public services.

Introduction

The Scottish Government Prevention Unit supports the shift towards more preventative approaches to public services. It does this by:

  • delivering on prevention in Public Service Reform
  • connecting prevention work across government and linking with partners
  • building capacity for prevention by developing practical tools for embedding prevention in policy and analysis

More detail on how the Prevention Unit is making progress against each of these objectives can be found in the Prevention Unit Plan.

This collection brings together publications and resources produced by the Unit under each of these objectives. New publications will be added as they are produced.
