3 Chaired By Chic Brodie MSP Margaret Paterson, ACE Recycling CiC - Highlighted the possibility of local social enterprise champions for local councillors to liaise with. Annabelle Ewing MSP - an audit of local social enterprises? Laurie Russell, Social Enterprise Scotland - We have local Social Enterprise Networks who capture much of this information. Would be beneficial to build closer relationships with elected members and others at a local level. Neil Findlay MSP - some councils seeing the idea of social enterprise as simply a selling off opportunity, need to be wary of this approach. Shona Maguire, SEAM - We need to focus our efforts more on local councils and not just with MSPs and parliament. Heather Sim, Space Unlimited - What we want to learn and explore is delivering the kind of Scotland we want and to better understand the contribution of social enterprises to society. Laurie Russell, Social Enterprise Scotland - made the point about social enterprise role in jobs and job creation. Patrick Harvie MSP - The group should be about discussing and debating and as a space for creative and innovative thinking. To feed into MSP policy making and thinking. Alex Richardson, The Gladiator Programme - Redistribution of wealth, not stifling the free market but prioritising community benefit and regeneration. Sandy Watson, Scottish Enterprise - Education and awareness raising in academia. Chic Brodie MSP - College participation in the group would be welcome. Kenneth Fleming, Glasgow Caledonian University - We already have the Yunus Centre at GCU and also the new qualification in social enterprise. Laurie Russell, Social Enterprise Scotland - Edinburgh Napier, Strathclyde and GCU all do work around social enterprise but more could be done in partnership with academia. Shona Maguire, SEAM - highlighted a student networking project that is both useful and free. Artur Steinerowski, SAC - Mentioned an EU project that engages older people in social enterprise.
4 David Fryer, Aberdeen Council of Voluntary Organisations - Highlighted health and intervention and said that multi-sector engagement should also be the aim of the group. Neil Findlay MSP - Social enterprises to design and, only where appropriate, deliver public services e.g. not running schools. Rachel Milne, Dial-a-Community Bus - Social enterprises can in fact run a school - why not? We need true partnership working. Also need to involve academic institutions in social enterprise, those outwith the central belt, Aberdeenshire exists too. Laurie Russell, Social Enterprise Scotland - Mentioned the Enterprise Growth Fund. John Swinney MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Employment and Sustainable Growth - Committed to the development of the sector. Good to have wide diversity in service delivery. Attracted by range of different social enterprise and other models. Impressed by the sector, as part of the wider third sector, in terms of outcomes. Necessity for further development of social enterprise. Business ownership models - greater plurality in economically challenging circumstances. Social enterprises need to be more involved in service delivery, procurement reform - recent projects involving third sector. Scottish Government officials are engaged with the sector and want to ensure ministers are too. There is a strong and substantive role for the social enterprise sector. Patrick Harvie MSP - Decentralisation of power in Scotland in line with social enterprise support? It s also about the broader issue of Scotland s future. Also there is a disruption of services in the current climate. Control of services is still held by councils. John Swinney MSP - Need a shift in design and delivery of services, already a work in progress i.e. procurement reform and the Sustainable Procurement Bill, the Bill needs strong foundations. Current models of delivery not working, need accpetance that new models are needed. This is core to reform - not an add on. We are not following the model south of the border of competition. Alex Richardson, The Gladiator Programme - Referred to speech by Theresa May. Third sector if indpendence happens must be stronger and take more of a central role. Warning that the social sector can be exploited by the public sector. We perhaps need a social sector ombudsman. John Swinney MSP - An ombudsman means that a system has failed. Just need reassurance that opportunities are available. Inclusion and opportunity is the key. Pauline Graham, CEO, Social Firms Scotland - The new Bill will be great, need to consider how we do things differently post-christie report. How does public services reform fit with procurement reform? John Swinney MSP - I deal with service reform, while the Minister Alex Neil deals with procurement reform. This is all joined up together in Cabinet sub-committee. We need to hear clear views and positions on the Sustainable Procurement Bill from the sector.
5 Heather Sim, Space Unlimited - We need action research or learning to understand the values and practical purpose of social enterprise, to contribute to policy thinking. John Swinney MSP - In terms of health services and councils and reform we are making big progress. It s about building trust - as well as agreed outcomes of achievement. Challenges with parts of public sector joining up - impetus and joined up practice is needed. Fraser Kelly, CEO, Social Enterprise Scotland - Youth employment and UK policy. In the context of the Work Programme, how can we better influence the assessment of framework contracts and specifically where evidenced that social enterprises meet, and exceed, DWP performance thresholds, satisfy financial capability assessments and quality standards yet lose out to full service companies on discount. John Swinney MSP - A huge trick was missed regarding good outcomes by the UK Government, no sensitive approach to moving people into the workplace. e.g. personalisation, empathy and practical motivation etc. Closed minded approach by DWP. Shona Maguire, SEAM - Difficulties and challenges with expanding and growing for social enterprises. John Swinney MSP - Enhancing capability of social enterprises, making them stronger and more robust, making social enterprise a more regular feature of public service delivery. Also mentioned the UK work programme. Social Enterprise Scotland Thorn House, 5 Rose Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PR Tel: hello@socialenterprisescotland.org.uk
