The Scottish Executive's Social Inclusion and Equality Strategies set out its plans to take forward a vision for a just and inclusive society. This bulletin reports on a range of social research projects carried out in-house or commissioned by the Scottish Executive and Communities Scotland relating to these cross-cutting strategies. It provides an update of ongoing projects, information about recent and forthcoming publications and details of some of the new research likely to be commissioned over the coming months.

The Office of the Chief Researcher and research teams in the various Departments and Communities Scotland provide a social research service to the Scottish Executive and certain allied Departments. Research teams support the formulation, development and evaluation of the Scottish Executive's policies and contribute to better delivery of services through the provision of evidence-based advice.
