Tackling Poverty & Inequalities Aberdeenshire

Tackling Poverty & Inequalities Aberdeenshire The official page for the Tackling Poverty and Inequalities Group from Aberdeenshire Council.

Aberdeenshire Community Planning Partnership set up the Tackling Poverty & Inequalities Group in order to improve the lives of disadvantaged people and improve disadvantaged areas in Aberdeenshire. Whilst Aberdeenshire compares favourably with the rest of Scotland in its overall rate for employment, there are some concentrated areas of deprivation in Fraserburgh and Peterhead. The Tackling Poverty

and Inequalities Group prioritises taking action on employability, financial inclusion, youth unemployment and information and advice services. Some of the actions being progressed include:

-Engaging with employers and working with them to deliver skills and training.

-Increasing employment opportunities through Community Benefit Clauses.

-Working with partners to ensure all young people who are not in a positive and sustained destination have an activity agreement.

-Recognising and supporting vulnerable customers through the Universal Credit journey towards or into work.
