Meeting description: The discussion aimed to ensure the Cabinet Secretary was aware of the SCoWR manifesto principles and to request that these principles inform every aspect of devolved social security. We focused on the importance of regulations and the need for engagement with and scrutiny of the Scottish Government to protect a rights-based approach. Third sector concerns with Universal Credit (UC) and what Scottish Government can do to mitigate these were also discussed. We highlighted the need to bring forward an income supplement and develop personalised choices within the UC system.
