S6W-27474
Asked by: Regan, Ash (Alba Party - Edinburgh Eastern) Friday 31st May 2024 Question To ask the Scottish Government, as part of its work to further the case for Scottish independence, what recent discussions the (a) former Minister for Independence, (b) Cabinet Secretary for Constitution, External Affairs and Culture and (c) First Minister has had with the (i) Prime Minister, (ii) Minister for Intergovernmental Relations and (iii) UK Government regarding a potential route to Scottish independence. Answered by Robertson, Angus - Cabinet Secretary for Constitution, External Affairs and Culture The First Minister emphasised his Government’s commitment to Scotland’s independence in his first call with the Prime Minister earlier this month. The Scottish Government stands ready to engage at any point with the UK Government to begin talks about the change to the Scottish Parliament’s powers to allow the Scottish people to choose their future. |
S6W-27527
Asked by: Lennon, Monica (Scottish Labour - Central Scotland) Thursday 30th May 2024 Question To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the proposed Education Bill, as set out in its Programme for Government 2023-24. Answered by Gilruth, Jenny - Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills The Scottish Government is committed to implementing the system and culture change required to improve outcomes and support professionals in classrooms and education settings all over Scotland. As part of this work, a Bill will be laid before parliament this year which will underpin the establishment of a new qualifications body and an independent officeholder for education inspection, to be in place in the Autumn of 2025. |
S6W-27608
Asked by: Regan, Ash (Alba Party - Edinburgh Eastern) Thursday 30th May 2024 Question To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on its civil service transformation work. Answered by McKee, Ivan There is a wide range of transformation work underway within the Scottish Government, much of which has built upon the foundations of the Corporate Transformation programme I established in my previous government role. Transformation activity is now being directed by the ‘In the Service of Scotland’ framework, which sets out the mission, vision, improvement priorities and values for the core Scottish Government, and has the broad aim of creating an organisation that can deliver effectively and efficiently for ministers and the people of Scotland in any future operating environment. The improvement priorities are:
Examples of current work include a shared services programme that will implement Oracle Cloud, transforming the HR, finance and purchasing function for Scottish Government and public sector customers; a programme of work to implement a People Strategy; a range of initiatives to upskill civil servants, such as the Scottish Digital Academy which provides high quality professional learning to public and third sector staff to build digital capability; and the Single Scottish Estate, which is identifying opportunities to efficiently co-locate some public services and support our transition to Net Zero. |
S6W-27476
Asked by: Lennon, Monica (Scottish Labour - Central Scotland) Tuesday 28th May 2024 Question To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to address any labour market barriers experienced by LGBTQ+ people. Answered by Arthur, Tom - Minister for Community Wealth and Public Finance The Scottish Government remains committed to advancing equality for LGBTQI+ people across all areas of life, including the labour market. We are providing over £1.1 million to organisations working to promote LGBTQI+ equality in Scotland in 2024-25, including for initiatives to tackle discrimination and empower LGBTQI+ people and allies to advocate for LGBTQI+ rights in their workplace. Through our Fair Work First approach we are leveraging employers’ commitment to fair work for all, including the LGBTQI+ community, by applying Fair Work principles to public sector grants, contracts and other funding, where it is relevant and proportionate to do so. These principles ask employers to commit to creating more diverse and inclusive workplaces and providing channels for effective voice, including trade union recognition. These facilitate open communication with workers to share their lived experiences, advocate for equal rights and ultimately improve workplace culture; and help all workers protect their legal rights and ensure fair treatment. |
