Question

To ask the Scottish Government how many families in the (a) Clackmannanshire and (b) Stirling local authority area have received support through the Scottish Child Payment since it was introduced.


Answer

As of 30 September 2025, 2,110 parents or carers in the Clackmannanshire local authority area, and 2,320 parents or carers in the Stirling local authority area were actively in receipt of Scottish Child Payment.

These figures are available in the latest Scottish Child Payment statistics publication which can be found at: Scottish Child Payment to September 2025 Publication.

Social Security Scotland publish statistics on the overall number of individual people to have been paid since Scottish Child Payment launched, but do not report a local authority area breakdown of this information.
