SHN WELFARE REFORM SERVICE
Scotland's Housing Network provides a support service to ALL social landlords across Scotland. As part of the Welfare Reform Service, SHN runs a number of Forums located throughout Scotland. The Forums are held 3 times a year and are in Inverness, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The Welfare Reform Forum service is free to all SHN member organisations. There is a nominal fee applicable for any non member organisation/social landlord wishing to attend.
The service aims to provide practitioners with a platform to meet and discuss issues around Welfare Reform and also ensure that all relevant publications and good practice is shared.
