Consumer Focus Scotland no longer hosts the Forum as of 16 November 2012 as UK Government changes to Consumer Focus means hosting is no longer compatible with its role.  Since an alternative host acceptable to Scottish Government has not to date been found, the project has had to be closed down.

Scottish Government (the Adult Care and Support Division) are considering how the SAIF agenda can be taken forward in the future.   

2012 - We launched our own elearning platform in the summer.  This is currently on hold.

We have developed a new good practice section on this website.

We produced  a new Brief Guide to PDFs and Accessibility.
