Scotland

In Scotland we are working together across sectors to:

  • Increase the number of people taking up basic money advice products and ensure the needs of vulnerable groups are met
  • Help people develop their knowledge and prepare young people for financial challenges in adult life
  • Increase the proportion of people with problem debt seeking help and provide better support for affordable credit.
  • Increase the number of people with a savings buffer and improve retirement planning

Scotland Strategy

The Scotland Strategy and its action plans were developed in consultation with a wide number of stakeholders across Scotland including the Scottish Government, local government, public bodies, the advice sector, housing associations, third sector organisations and financial services providers. It sets out how the Money Advice Service will work with the sector to improve financial capability.
