How we use the data
Our independent researcher Ruth Stevenson will use the information that everyone provides to prepare an anonymised report based on combined national data, describing the current stats and trends around peer support in Scotland. The report will be shared widely.
Scottish Recovery Network will also hold the complete database of responses internally to guide future work, but we will not share your data with anyone. There may be opportunities in the future to share more about your work with our audiences. We will always contact you first and gain full permission from you if these opportunities arise.
