National carers strategy: fairer Scotland duty assessment

Stage 4 – Decision

what changes, if any, will be made to the proposal as a result of the assessment? Why are these changes being made and what are the expected outcomes?

There is the intention to have more carers with experience of poverty and disadvantage forming part of the stakeholder groups to allow a more targeted focus on the impact of the actions committed within social and financial inclusion chapter and ensure necessary adaptations can be made going forward. This will help to maximise the effectiveness of initiatives and improve equalities of outcome.

if no changes are proposed, please explain why.
