Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many Tayside partnerships have been developed through Fair Start Scotland since its inception, and what action it will take to encourage future bidders.
Answer
The Scottish Government actively encourages Fair Start Scotland Providers to enhance existing partnerships and create new relationships with a view to supporting participants. We do not keep information on the number of partnerships developed but regularly monitor Providers engagement with the local community through employer and stakeholder engagement.
The Scottish Government has set out its ambitions to align future employability services through the principles outlined in No One Left Behind.
