Question reference: S3W-36872

Asked by: James Kelly, MSP for Glasgow Rutherglen, Scottish Labour
Date lodged: Monday, 11 October 2010
Current Status: Answered by Fergus Ewing on 26 October 2010

To ask the Scottish Executive how it is supporting the Scottish Community Wardens Network.

Community wardens across Scotland play a key role in making our communities safer, stronger places to live. Following the concordat between COSLA and the Scottish Government, the operation of each community warden scheme is the responsibility of its local authority and most local authorities have reviewed their warden services to best meet local needs.

The Scottish Government supports community wardens and the Scottish Community Wardens'' Network in a number of ways, based on activities identified in the antisocial behaviour framework Promoting Positive Outcomes.

We assist and promote the sharing of good practice through regular attendance at official level at Scottish Community Wardens'' Network meetings and, more broadly, through the Scottish Community Safety Network. We also provide financial support through the funding of the national conference.
