Welcome to the Social and Welfare section of the
Scottish Executive's statistician group website. We hope
that this website will provide you with an efficient and
effective way of accessing the information you require.
The Social and Welfare topic area covers a broad range
of subjects. If you click on the
publications
and data section you will be able to access links to
all our recent publications and releases as well as a full
listing of past publications.
The priorities for the statistician group are developed
through
consultation
with interested parties across the public and voluntary
sector, academia and other key users of statistics. Our
arrangements for consulting with these groups are set out
in this section of the site.
Given the wide ranging nature of Social and Welfare
statistics, other
related
topic areas are often of interest in that they provide
additional background information. Through this section of
the site you can access other key parts of the statistics
website and also other relevant parts of the Scottish
Executive website.
Links to
other relevant websites outside the Scottish Executive are
also provided for information, however the Scottish
Executive cannot be held responsible for their content.
We are happy to receive
comments
on all aspects of our work. We are also willing to assist
you in finding appropriate statistics to inform your own
work.
