The Menu for Change project and CPAG in Scotland have recently published a report highlighting different approaches to the delivery of the Scottish Welfare Fund across Scotland.

This webinar is hosted by the Local Child Poverty Action Report Project at the Improvement Service and provides an opportunity to hear more about the findings, as well as examples of innovative practice in relation to the fund from across Scotland. It will be an opportunity to consider:

- To what extent the SWF is or could become an effective tool for tackling child poverty
- Whether there are existing examples of good practice that might be drawn upon
- The resource implications for any changes to the way the Scottish Welfare Fund is delivered.
