Migration Scotland

COSLA’s Migration, Population and Diversity team has responsibility for policy issues relating to migration to Scotland in all its forms (including asylum seekers and refugees), human trafficking, population and demographic change, and also provides oversight of equality and human rights issues.

COSLA Strategic Migration Partnership (CSMP) is a function of the Migration, Population and Diversity team.  It is one of a number of local authority-led Strategic Migration Partnerships based across the UK and works with partners from across the public, private and voluntary sector as a means of ensuring that Scotland is a welcoming place for new migrants.  Our key partners include Scottish local authorities, the Home Office, the Scottish Government and a host of other stakeholders with an interest in migration issues in Scotland.

Grampian Regional Equality Council Ltd.

At the end of 1970s, Aberdeen welcomed Vietnamese families made refugees by the war in their country. It was realised that a support network was needed and committee made up of volunteers, representatives from local authorities and other agencies was set up. Over time, Grampian Community Relations Council came into being, grew into Grampian Racial Equality Council and is now Grampian Regional Equality Council Ltd.

During its history, the organisation has led the way in promoting and championing equality and diversity in the North East of Scotland, and its mission is to work with others to ensure that everyone is valued for who they are and is able to contribute with encouragement, and without fear of discrimination or unfair treatment.
