The Opportunities and Challenges of the Changing Public Services Landscape for the Third Sector in Scotland: a Longitudinal Study - Year One Report: Baseline Findings
This report outlines findings from the first year of a three year research project examining ?The Opportunities and Challenges of the Changing Public Services Landscape for the Third Sector in Scotland: A Longitudinal Study?. This work was commissioned by the Scottish Government and using qualitative case studies and focus groups aims to track the way in which a selection of third sector organisations (TSOs) respond to the changing opportunities and challenges over a period of three years starting from 2009/2010. The Scottish Government has acknowledged that the third sector has a key role to play in delivering public services that are high quality, continually improving, efficient and responsive to local people?s needs. This work will inform future partnership-working with the third sector.
