About
Scottish Government awarded a contract to National Centre for Social Research for a desk-based review of 'seldom heard' groups within the Scottish social security system.
The review provided systematic analysis of groups most likely to face significant barriers in accessing social security support they are entitled to, examining existing evidence to identify specific seldom heard groups and key barriers to take-up.
The conclusions informed work to develop bespoke, person-centred approaches to ensure these communities are supported to access their social security entitlements.
The contract value was AUD 24,998, with outputs required by February 2024.
