There is still time to respond regards the consultation on a proposed Freedom of Information Reform (Scotland) Bill
https://www.parliament.scot/-/media/files/legislation/proposed-members-bills/freedom-of-information-reform-bill--consultation-by-katy-clark-msp.pdf
There is a section (page 16) which notes the ‘Accountability of the Third Sector’ and may be of particular interest.
See page 40 for the questions and instructions regards ‘how to’ respond.
If you are not intending to respond but have a point of interest you would want to note please share them with us at info@engagerenfrewhsire.com and we’ll look to include in our response where appropriate. If you could do so by 30 January 2023 that would be great.
Renfrewshire Community Wellbeing Network
What is the network and who can join?
If you're promoting positive mental health outcomes for Renfrewshire adults (16+) then you're welcome to join. Our network is predominantly made up of third sector community groups who have received funding via the 'Community Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund' and Renfrewshire HSCP's 'Culture, Arts, Health and Social Care Funds' but we're keen to expand and particularly reach those who could support groups or signpost the public towards funded activity.
Formerly known as the Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Network we have renamed the network to reflect our expanded ambitions!
Our aims are:
promote networking amongst funded groups
share the work of funded groups with exterior partners to encourage participation
develop a model of good practice for community mental health work based on network learning and experience
