We improve knowledge, practice, policy – and people’s lives.
You can find examples of this all through our website. Here are what some people say:
“I realise how important my work is now and how it affects people’s lives. I think about things more now before I do them.”
“ARC Scotland’s Principles into Practice Trial Programme (will provide a mechanism to create and deliver collective solutions, and to drive good practice, thereby helping to ensure that all young people receive appropriate support and are offered choices at points of transition, in order to reach their full potential.”
“I am pleased to introduce the SOLD Network’s ‘Guide for Defence Solicitors: representing clients with communication support needs’ … this guidance is a crucial step in ensuring fair and equal access to justice for all.”
“The Charter helps me understand things better and what you’re entitled to. Gives me a voice and stand up for things I believe in.”
“It was so important to hear directly from people who receive support.”
“The information we get from ARC Scotland is huge, giving us updates from other areas we can tap into to help our work.”
“When we have all worked so hard to support all of our staff it has been invaluable to have a space in which to collectively problem solve to the benefit of all of our organisations and of each other. So much information, ideas and solutions have been shared, it was and is great comfort to understand that the sometimes extreme challenges were not one individual’s alone and shared across the sector.”
