CPAG in Scotland

And that’s a wrap on CPAG’s Welfare Rights Conference 2025! Thank you to all of our speakers, contributors, exhibitors and all our delegates. We will see you next year! #WelfareRights2025

That’s the end of our plenary session at this year's annual welfare rights conference - thanks to all our speakers including Sir Stephen Timms MP, Tressa Burke, Sophie Howes and excellent chair Brian Taylor #WelfareRights2025

Next we hear from CPAG’s head of policy @sophiekhowes - there are reasons to be hopeful for the upcoming child poverty strategy but there is still a failure to recognise the value of social security to reduce child poverty #WelfareRights2025

The conference hears from the Minister for Social Security and Disability Stephen Timms MP ‘we hope to confirm how people in Scotland can access the UC health element in time for the White paper in Autumn’ #WelfareRights2025

What are the implications for UK benefit reforms for families in Scotland? @stephenctimms joined by @tressaburke, and @sophiekhowes will be discussing this now at our plenary session chaired by Brian Taylor  #WelfareRights2025

We are delighted to be at @CPAGScotland #WelfareRights2025 conference today. Come to our stall and say hello to our team!
