SUMMARY:Social isolation and loneliness strategy - consultation event
DESCRIPTION:Social isolation and loneliness strategy – consultation event\nIn the last Parliamentary term\, the Scottish Government welcomed The Equal Opportunities Committee report on Social Isolation which was the first of its kind anywhere in the world. The committee found that social isolation and loneliness was a problem in Scotland\, and recommended that the Government developed a national strategy to tackle it. This consultation is an important part of the process.\n\nSocial Isolation and loneliness is an issue that can affect anyone at any age or stage of their lives. Feelings of loneliness have been demonstrated to have wide ranging consequences for those effected. and has been shown to lead to depression across all ages\, as well as cognitive decline and dementia in older people. There is also the potential for serious physical health implications which have been compared to those of obesity or smoking.\n\nWe want a Scotland where individuals and communities are more connected and everyone has the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships regardless of age\, status\, circumstances or identity. We see the role of communities as vital in achieving this goal\, and have already began to empower them to make decisions that help them address their unique priorities. Because communities are so central to tackling this problem\, it is important that the people who live in them get to have their say.\n\n(Text from the Scottish Government)
