Yesterday was my last day as @TheSCoSS Chair. Public appointees are rightly constrained in what they can say publicly. Now I'm not, there’s a lot I want to say on a lot of things! Thought I’d start with a wee🧵on personal reflections on my time with SCoSS & things to look out for
It’s been an extraordinary time since @TheSCoSS opened for business early 2019. Scottish social security barely existed except on paper. It’s sprung to life & learnt to walk, last week taking its biggest step yet with Adult Disability Payment replacing PIP.
It’s been an honour to play a part in creating a new Scottish system based on dignity, fairness & respect – qualities regrettably absent from social security elsewhere - & a rare joy to work on something with real scope to have a meaningful positive impact on people’s lives.
