The new Plan responds to feedback provided by island communities directly to the Scottish Government via the consultation process, engagements sessions and the Scottish Islands Federation.
Part of that feedback highlighted the lack of awareness of the first version of the Plan within island communities, in response the Scottish Government is keen to engage directly with island communities to raise awareness, this includes sessions during the summer in partnership with the Scottish Islands Federation to outline the next steps in regard to implementation of the Plan in its first year. https://www.gov.scot/publications/national-islands-plan-2/
