Adult Support and Protection National Strategic Forum
Overview
The Adult Support and Protection (ASP) National Strategic Forum provides a strategic and cross-sectoral view of what is needed to improve the delivery of adult support and protection across Scotland.
It assists the Scottish Government and delivery partners in identifying work required to improve the assurance and operation of adult support and protection and its interface with existing and developing legislative and policy areas.
The Forum also provides oversight of and advice on the improvement plan, which is in development.
Formed in November 2018, the Forum is chaired by the Minister for Mental Health.
