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.
