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.

A really valuable day of insight yesterday with updates and networking at Firm Base conference arranged by 51 Bde. 

Very encouraging to hear the range of policy and practice support for Serving people, families and the veteran community. Although there is still work to do to ensure that none are disadvantaged because of their Service.

Today, the SVC Office was represented at a moving and poignant re-dedication ceremony for the newly restored @scotvetres memorial. 

In the Eastern Cemetery in Edinburgh, it carries the names of more than 220 veterans who lived at Whitefoord House from 1911 onwards.

It was a huge pleasure to meet Margaret and Ryan from @ssafaofficial last week to discuss the charity's invaluable support to the bereaved community in particular. As always, the empathy, warmth and compassion of the SSAFA team shone through.
