Measures and monitoring

Rural areas require their own set of outcome measures, monitoring arrangements and measures of deprivation.

The impact of our work and that of others can only be effectively measured if the ways in which we measure change are suitable for rural areas. The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, for example, is used to make decisions about funding for rural areas but does not always capture smaller pockets of deprivation within a wider area.

The Scottish Rural Parliament Action Plan 2015-16

Objective: A range of rural outcome measures and monitoring arrangements are available and utilised to effectively evaluate the impact of legislation and other activities on rural communities.

We are seeking: A range of rural outcome measures and monitoring arrangements are available and utilised to effectively evaluate the impact of legislation and other activities on rural communities.

We will: Review the efficacy of existing outcome measures and monitoring arrangements by October 2016 with a view to ensuring these arrangements are suitable for rural areas.

Scottish Rural Action, the non-profit body which organises the Scottish Rural Parliament, has a new website which includes an online forum for communities to connect and share views and ideas.

Scottish Rural Action and the Scottish Rural Parliament have been given separate online identities to avoid confusion over their respective roles.

The Scottish Rural Parliament takes place every two years and started in 2014. The national high-profile event brings representatives of rural communities from across Scotland together with decision-makers. The event aims to raise the profile of rural needs and strengths, as well as identifying solutions to the challenges our communities face.

Scottish Rural Action is the legal entity which organises the Scottish Rural Parliament. SRA takes forward priorities voted on at the Rural Parliament and advocates on behalf of rural communities on a wide range of issues. We are the ‘go to’ organisation on rural issues in Scotland.
