Best Start Grant: business and regulatory impact assessment

This business and regulatory impact assessment (BRIA) considers the potential effects of the The Early Years Assistance (Best Start Grants) (Scotland) Regulations 2018 and how it impacts on businesses.


Implementation and delivery plan

The Early Years Assistance (Best Start Grants) (Scotland) Regulations 2018 will be laid in the Scottish Parliament on 11 September 2018 providing details of eligibility, the payments and application windows. The first payments of the pregnancy and baby payment will be made by Social Security Scotland before Christmas 2018.
The two further BSG payments will be introduced before Summer 2019.

Delivery of the BSG will be through Social Security Scotland, an Executive Agency, with operational staff based in the Dundee Headquarters and Glasgow office, supplemented by a local delivery function.
