Acknowledgements

Developing Scotland’s first Flood Resilience Strategy has been a significant and collective effort and we are grateful for the advice, expertise and insight received from all contributors.

The Strategy has been informed by what we have heard from stakeholders and the public through our engagement sessions organised by Sniffer, ClimateXChange and Scottish Flood Forum and through the public consultation.

A total of 198 responses to the public consultation was received, with 87 from groups or organisations and 111 from individual members of the public. The consultation analysis and production of the summary document was completed by Craigforth Social Research.

The Flood Resilience Strategy Programme Board and the Strategic Leads Group have shared their knowledge and advice throughout the process and our thanks go to the following organisations who have contributed through these groups.

  • Architecture and Design Scotland
  • ClimateXChange
  • Consumer Scotland
  • COSLA
  • Heads of Planning Scotland
  • Local authorities
  • NatureScot
  • Scottish Community Development Centre
  • Scottish Environment Protection Agency
  • Scottish Flood Forum
  • Scottish Water
  • Sniffer
  • Society of Chief Officers of Transportation in Scotland

Our thanks also go to all those organisations and communities who have supplied case studies for the Strategy showcasing the diversity, initiative and innovation of flood resilience activities around Scotland.
