The main consultation network is the SCOTSTAT network.
Social and Welfare statistics are dealt with by the
SCOTSTAT Social and Welfare Committee. You may also
wish to note that the Scottish Executive is represented on
the Social and Welfare National Statistics Theme group
which addresses issues at a UK level.
You are also invited to register on the
SCOTSTAT
user register. The SCOTSTAT register allows users and
providers of Scottish Statistics to record their interest
in specific topics. The register will then be used to
target those interested in a particular statistical
area.
The Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics project has been
developed in consultation with users across Scotland and
the UK. Minutes of meetings, discussion papers, geography
issues etc are available through
http://www.scotland.gov.uk/stats/neighbours/tables/index.asp.
Please note that publications on for example the Index of
Deprivation, can be accessed through the Publications and
Data part of the Social and Welfare website
