Independent Living

COSLA is committed to making sure that everyone can take part in the community and live an ordinary life. This approach is predicated on a range of initiatives already in place around the Self Directed Support agenda, and local government's work to promote coproduction in policy making, service planning and delivery. As part of this broader agenda, COSLA is involved in the following areas of work:

  • Contributing to the development of policy, practice and law on Self Directed Support 
  • Embedding the policy of supported employment within the local government community 
  • Contributing to the support of unpaid carers in Scotland
