This strategy sets the vision for a future Scotland which will value and benefit from the talents and experience of its older people; a Scotland which welcomes its ageing population. Six priority areas for strategic action have been identified; to improve opportunities for older people, to forge better links between the generations, to improve the health and quality of life of older people, to continue to improve care, support and protection for those older people who need it, to ensure that the right infrastructure is in place, and to offer learning opportunities throughout life. For each priority area, what the Scottish Executive needs to do and what it invites public, private, voluntary, community and older people’s organisations to do to bring about change is highlighted, along with success criteria.

The Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) bill sets out how the vetting and barring scheme will operate in general terms and secondary legislation will be used to provide the details of the scheme and ensure it operates effectively. This discussion paper has been produced in response to the Education Committee’s stage 1 report on the Protection of Vulnerable (Groups) bill. The preference to see draft regulations prior to the amending stage in the Bill would have led to a significant delay in progressing the primary legislation and securing the robust safeguards and protections which will flow from the new vetting and barring scheme. The discussion paper sets out the issues and policy options on the three substantive secondary legislation areas namely, retrospective checking, determination criteria, and fees. Full and comprehensive consultation will follow.

Key evidence on older people drawn from a variety of quantitative and qualitative research and statistical data is drawn together to inform the Strategy for a Scotland with an Ageing Population and to develop an understanding of the economic, social and cultural implications for Scottish society of an ageing population. Key demographic trends in relation to Scotland’s ageing population and some of the causes of population ageing are outlined. Data is also presented around the contribution made by older people to society as carers, volunteers, learners, workers and consumers, patterns of older people’s employment in Scotland, different retirement pathways, health and well-being as people age, and housing, transport and planning.

The Delivery Framework for Adult Rehabilitation in Scotland reflects the importance of rehabilitation in health and social care and recognises people’s potential to overcome barriers to independent living. The framework focuses on three key groups: older people, adults with long-term conditions and people returning from work absence and/or wishing to stay in employment, and aims to maximise individuals’ participation in their communities and improve quality of life for them, their family and carers. Its recommendations aim to break down the traditional boundaries between health professions and care professionals, between phases of care, between locations of care and between the conventional preserves of health care and social work.
