Financial considerations when leaving an abusive relationship SFHA Submission
Much of this work is largely already being delivered by Housing Associations across Scotland but efforts to formalise this process in Part 5 of the current Housing Bill are welcome, requiring social housing landlords to specifically consider the effect of domestic abuse in the accrual of rent arrears, where eviction action is being taken and to fully consider further actions that could assist the victim-survivor before eviction action for rent arrears can be taken in court. 1 We are also calling on the Scottish Government to set out a timeframe confirming when the measures in the Domestic Abuse Protection (Scotland) Act (2021) will be implemented that would allow landlords to apply to the court to end the tenancy rights of someone who has been abusive to their partner or ex-partner if the abused person wants to continue living in the house.

Championing Disability Equality and Human Rights: The Minister for Equalities, Migration and Refugees (Emma Roddick) moved S6M-11537—That the Parliament notes the ambition for Scotland to be a world leader in both the legislation for, and realisation of, human rights; recognises the disproportionate impact that the COVID-19 pandemic and the cost of living crisis continue to have on disabled people's human rights and equality; welcomes the action being taken across the Scottish Government, including reopening the Independent Living Fund in Scotland, with an initial investment of £9 million, and a commitment to develop and implement an Immediate Priorities Plan for Disabled People; notes the recent consultation on a Human Rights Bill to incorporate economic, social and cultural rights and rights for disabled people into Scots law, which, if effectively implemented, will help secure a life of dignity for all, including the most marginalised and disadvantaged; reaffirms the values of Scotland's National Performance Framework outcomes for disabled people, including protecting human rights, allowing people to live free from discrimination, and creating a fairer, more inclusive Scotland, and commits to listening to the lived experience and expertise of disabled people and to sharing policy development and decision-making in a genuinely inclusive and participatory manner.
