Welfare Reform - Scotland

Welfare Reform
Thursday 18th June 2015 – Edinburgh

The welfare reform agenda presents the most radical change in benefits delivery since the conception of social security. With further reform proposals made in the Smith Commission and the General Election fast approaching, it is vital to get prepared for the significant impact of the welfare devolution settlement.

Our Welfare Reform Conference provides leading examples of implementing key provisions locally, including Universal Credit delivery arrangements, improving employment opportunities, supporting the most vulnerable claimants and successfully delivering financial and digital inclusion.

Do not miss this opportunity to develop an effective response to the opportunities and challenges presented by welfare reform and learn what further devolution means for Scottish social security.

Chair: Michael McMahon MSP, Convener, Welfare Reform Committee, The Scottish Parliament
