Getting in on the Act online 2021

In early 2021 CHEX is running a follow up to September’s succesful online workshop on the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act. The workshop is for community-led health organisations and the wider community sector across Scotland.

The workshop will take place using Zoom on Thursday 14th of January at 10am-12am with some time at the end for questions and discussion for anyone who wants to stay on.

Please complete the form below to register your interest in attending. We will do our best to accomodate everyone, but priority will be given to community-led organisations.

What does the workshop involve?

The online workshop will be a chance to find out what the Act contains and how to make use of it. Community organisations and other groups they work with can make use of the Act in order to take forward the sorts of things they want to do.

As well as providing a general overview, the workshop will introduce you to:

  • How to make a participation request to have discussions with public bodies about improving services

  • Asset transfer requests and community right to buy land and buildings

  • Requirements under the Act for community planning partnerships
