Written Question · S4W-04989 · Session 4
What action it is taking to promote greater financial inclusion and capability.
The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what action it is taking to promote greater financial inclusion and capability.
The answer
Financial inclusion and financial capability are a matter for local authorities, who are best placed to assess local need for services and put in place appropriate provision. The Scottish Government provides national infrastructure and support which it would be inefficient to organise at a local level, for example training for debt advisors, the Healthier Wealthier Children project and the Financial Learning Online Scotland website for financial capability practitioners.
