On Thursday 14 October 2021, the third Fair Start Scotland Annual Report was published. The report shows how our national devolved employment support service has progressed throughout 2021-21, highlighting how quickly continuity support was arranged for participants, new referral routes were created and virtual engagement opportunities were made to deliver support successfully to participants.

 

The Annual Report findings demonstrate how Fair Start Scotland continues to make a difference to participants, employers and communities, despite the challenges of lockdown in Year 3. You can read more here: Fair Start Scotland Annual Report - Year 3 (www.gov.scot)
