Equally Well Review 2010
During 2008 and 2009 the Scottish Government and COSLA published jointly three linked social policy frameworks: Equally Well, the Early Years Framework and Achieving Our Potential. Each of these addresses the underlying causes of Scotland?s health and other inequalities. The Ministerial Task Force reconvened in 2010 to review progress with implementing the three frameworks, especially in the current and future tight public financial climate. The review has confirmed that the three social policy frameworks remain the best approach to deliver long term improvements in outcomes for people. Action should therefore continue at Scottish Government and local level on all of the frameworks? recommendations, while at the same time recognising the need to identify local priorities to maximise the impact of available resources.
