Early Interventions for Children and Young People Working Group meetings and IPEDs (image and performance enhancing drugs) information: FOI release

Information requested

Please provide all minutes of all meetings of the Early Interventions for Children and Young People Working Group over the last 18 months. Please also provide any additional papers sent out to members for any meetings of this working group for the last 18 months. I would also like any confirmed or draft agendas for future meetings of this working group.

Lastly, I would like any emails discussing IPEDs (image and performance enhancing drugs) from staff in the Scottish Government Drugs Policy Division in relation to their role as secretariat for this working group.

I’m aware there may be multiple working groups with a similar title. The terms of reference for this group can be found here: https://www.parliament.scot/-/media/files/committees/citizen-participation-and-publicpetitions-committee/correspondence/2023/pe2024/pe2024_c.pdf should that help the foisa team narrow down what I’m asking for.

Response

Please find enclosed -

• Minutes of meetings of the Early Interventions for Children and Young People Working Group
• Minutes of meetings of the subgroup of this working group, focussed on developing Standards of support for young people
• Agendas and papers issued to members of both groups, which includes;
• Results of the Young People's digital engagement exercise carried out by We Are With You. (Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs (IPEDs) are included in this report.)

The documents are numbered 01-35, in date order.

There are currently no confirmed or draft agendas for future meetings.

With regards to your request for emails discussing IPEDs, this has been interpreted as being emails in relation to the Early Interventions for Children and Young People Working Group.

IPEDs have not been discussed by the working group, however IPEDs were included in engagement carried out by We Are With You in the aforementioned report.

In supplying you with the requested documents, the personal data of working group members has been redacted under exemption 38(1)(b) - personal data the disclosure of which would contravene data protection principles.
