Delivery Plan Implementation and Next Steps

Compassionate Shetland

The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.  We want Shetland to be a place where, no matter their circumstances, residents will be respected and supported by the community to fulfil their potential. To do this, we need a Shetland community that appreciates diversity and is accepting of each individual's background and circumstances. Research shows stigma is still a significant barrier to people accessing early support or participating in their community, which has a negative impact on health and wellbeing.

Three projects are being scoped to continue the shift in culture across organisations and communities.  These will begin delivery in 2024/25.
