Handling your response

We need to know how you wish your response to be handled and, in particular, whether you are happy for your response to be made public.

If you ask for your response not to be published we will regard it as confidential, and we will treat it accordingly.

Next steps in the process

Where respondents have given permission for their response to be made public ( see the attached Respondent Information Form), these will be made available to the public in the Scottish Executive Library by end July 2006. We will check all responses where agreement to publish has been given for any potentially defamatory material before logging them in the library or placing them on the website. You can make arrangements to view responses by contacting the SE Library on 0131 244 4565. Responses can be copied and sent to you, but a charge may be made for this service.

What happens next?

Following the closing date, all responses will be analysed and considered along with any other available evidence to help us reach a decision. The draft Action Framework will be adjusted to reflect comments received and the intention is that it will be published in the autumn of 2006 as guidance from the Scottish Executive.
