Island Communities Impact Assessments Guidance and Toolkit

Overview

To inform the guidance and toolkit for completing an Island Communities Impact Assessment (ICIA) as required under the Islands (Scotland) Act 2018.

Why your views matter

The consultation on the guidance will help ensure that islands receive fair and equitable treatment and that outcomes are tailored to their unique circumstances.
