SVC Strategic Plan

This strategic plan sets out my mission and mandate, vision and values and offers an outline of the work I will be pursuing during my 3 year appointment as Scottish Veterans Commissioner. It sets a path and priorities as well as the next steps and approach my office and I will be taking. Some of this work may be more long term and continue beyond the end of my tenure and this would be a decision for my successor.

May 2023

It’s #ArmedForcesWeek, a chance to come together to honour the dedication of our serving personnel, reservists, veterans, cadets, and the loved ones who support them. Together they make up a diverse and vibrant community that should be recognised and celebrated. #SaluteOurForces #ArmedForcesDay #ArmedForcesCommunity

Forces Children Scotland marked the 5th anniversary of their rebrand today with a joyful celebration of five recent projects delivered with and for children and young people from Forces and veteran families. I was delighted to present medals to some of the young people who co-produced the Forces Children’s Rights Charter, recognising their nominations for the Celebrating Forces Families Awards — a well-deserved tribute to their dedication and impact. Meanwhile, also at Edinburgh Napier University’s Craiglockhart Campus, the Armed Forces Community Big Day Out was in full swing. The event was officially opened by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Cllr Robert Aldridge, and attended by the Armed Forces Minister, Louise Sandher-Jones MP — a fantastic show of support for our armed forces community. #ArmedForcesDay @forceschildrenscotland @lordprovostedinburgh @louisesandherjones4ned

Today I’ve published my new report on veterans and employment. Employment is key to a successful transition to civilian life, and while most veterans go on to thrive in second careers, some still need support. Scotland has made strong progress, but more can be done. We must turn intent into consistent action, strengthen leadership and data, and ensure every veteran can access the opportunities available.

A constructive introductory meeting today with Jamie Hepburn MSP, Minister for Veterans. We reflected on progress made in recent years and the challenges ahead. Key priorities discussed included the Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Pathway, Op Banner veterans, the Veterans Homelessness Prevention Pathway, and extending the Armed Forces Covenant. I look forward to working with the Minister to support our Armed Forces and veteran community.
