The Scottish Government have promised to implement a social security system that is based on values of dignity, fairness and respect.

In this ALLIANCE Live interview, our Chief Officer of Development Sara Redmond speaks to Minister for Social Security and Local Government, Ben Macpherson about how Scotland's new devolved powers around social security are progressing. The Minister also discusses how the Scottish Government plans to address gaps in the uptake of Carers Assistance for women, who make up the largest percentage of unpaid carers, and minority groups.
