Our Question of the Month for January 2024 related to the recent news that the Scottish Government has proposed a 50% cut in grant funding to the SCSN.
We have been consulting with partners and stakeholders around what impact this may have on their work – and on our ability to provide support to drive forward community safety priorities in Scotland.
We asked:
‘Do you believe that a 50% cut in grant funding to the SCSN will have a negative impact on building safer communities/community safety work in Scotland?’
- 64.2% said Yes
- 35.8% said No
- 0% said Not Sure
