We owe a great debt of gratitude to the many experts and officials across Scotland who assisted our work by participating in multiple project advisory group meetings and/or by facilitating our access to key datasets.
Local statutory and voluntary services in six (anonymous) areas across Scotland gave generously of their time to enable us to assess the reality of the situation ‘on the ground’. Above all, we would like to thank all of the people with direct experience of severe and multiple disadvantage who participated in the Lived Experience Reference Groups or in-depth interviews in local areas. We hope this report helps to convey your experience in a way that brings about much- needed change across Scotland.
The photography that is woven through this report emerged from a co-designed, participatory workshop between people with lived experience, staff in services, Lankelly Chase and the photographer. We would like to extend our warm thanks to everyone who participated so openly and enthusiastically.
