Faith and belief engagement strategy

Vision

• Scotland is a peaceful, resilient and inclusive society for people of all faiths, religious identities and spiritual beliefs.
• Regular and constructive engagement takes place between faith and belief communities and government, building relationships based on trust and respect.
• The diversity of Scotland's faith and belief communities is recognised and included in policy development.
• There is space for respectful discussion about beliefs and the essential right of every person to freedom of thought, conscience and religion is upheld.
• Faith and belief communities are active partners with Scottish Government in meeting emerging societal challenges and working together for the common good.
