BEFS Bulletin 372: Funding Boost, Skills Milestone & Climate Action

BEFS NEWS

We start this edition of BEFS Bulletin noting with sadness the passing of Christina McKelvie MSP on the 25^th of March. In 2023 during Ms McKelvie’s time as Minister for Culture, Europe and International Development she presented Our Past, Our Future, the strategy for Scotland’s historic environment, and championed the role of the historic environment in creating resilient, inclusive and sustainable spaces. BEFS extends thoughts and condolences to Ms McKelvie’s friends, family and colleagues during this time.

In the second of our Joining the Dots series, Jocelyne Fleming (CIOB) responds with a galvanising exploration of the need for holistic policymaking to successfully address Scotland’s housing crisis, deliver net zero, and achieve a Just Transition. The blog examines the importance of neighbourhood-scale retrofit delivery, the role of long-term workforce planning, and the necessity of cross-portfolio policymaking.

A new bursary to support the future planning pipeline in Scotland has opened. £5000 bursaries are available to 30 students through the Future Planners Bursary. The bursary aims to attract diverse talent from a variety of planning-related disciplines and underrepresented backgrounds and increase the number of future planners in Scotland.

A major funding announcement for traditional skills in Scotland! The National Lottery Heritage Fund has awarded £3.7 million to establish a new Centre of Excellence for Canals & Traditional Skills at Lock 16 in Falkirk. Delivered in partnership between Scottish Canals and Historic Environment Scotland, the project will support heritage skills training, apprenticeships, and sector resilience through a national hub combining accredited programmes, community outreach, and sector-wide collaboration. Learn more here.

More on skills – last week, BEFS Director and Head of Policy & Strategy visited BEFS Members The Ridge Foundations in Dunbar, where they met with Managing Director Katie Wood to hear about the organisation’s multi-faceted work, including employability support, heritage construction, and plans for a traditional skills training centre.

It has been a busy few weeks for BEFS team! In March BEFS Communications Lead Malini Chakrabarty attended the Scottish Heritage Social Media Group event, sharing practical insights on using social media for advocacy across heritage and the other policy areas. The session offered strategies for creating effective content in an evolving digital landscape, highlighting the importance of understanding audiences, and connecting policy to real-world impact. Read the full blog post here.

Last week Sarah Boyack MSP introduced the Wellbeing and Sustainable Development (Scotland) Bill. The Member’s Bill sets out the need for public bodies to promote wellbeing and sustainable development in their work, as well as presenting definitions of “sustainable development” and “wellbeing” for this purpose. The establishment of a Future Generations Commissioner is designed to promote wellbeing and sustainable development in decision making by all public bodies, including guidance to help public bodies understand what the bill means for them.

The Scottish Parliament has launched its first Areas of Research Interest (ARI) programme, supported by the Economic and Social Research Council. The programme aims to strengthen links between policymakers and researchers on climate-related topics. Themes such as reducing emissions through avoiding, reducing and/or reusing materials, and opportunities for interventions in other sector areas to support circular economy goals alongside emissions reductions, present interesting possibilities for cross portfolio goals.

The 18^th of April is World Heritage Day – and a moment to reflect on the value of Scotland’s six UNESCO World Heritage Sites; from Neolithic Orkney, the industrial heritage of New Lanark, to the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh. These internationally recognised places of cultural and natural significance connect local communities to global stories of innovation, identity, and resilience. With World Creativity and Innovation Day on the 21^st of this month also approaching, BEFS celebrates the vital role of heritage-led creativity — from community engagement to traditional and new conservation techniques — in sustaining our historic environment for future generations.

And finally, BEFS Member Edinburgh World Heritage are seeking an inspiring and strategic leader to serve as Director. This is a unique opportunity to lead an organisation dedicated to preserving and enhancing the city’s World Heritage Site, while promoting its positive role in a dynamic, living city.

Climate change duties – draft statutory guidance for public bodies: consultation
Scottish Government
The Scottish Government is gathering views to help inform new Statutory Guidance for public bodies, to support them in putting the climate change duties into practice. The Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 (‘the 2009 Act’) places duties on relevant public bodies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contribute to delivery of the Scottish National Adaptation Plan, and to act in the most sustainable way. These duties are known as the climate change duties, or the public bodies climate change duties. Under the 2009 Act, Scottish Ministers are required to provide public bodies with guidance, to support them in putting their climate change duties into practice. Statutory guidance was originally published in 2011 and now requires to be updated. This consultation seeks your views on new draft Statutory Guidance which has been developed for this purpose, and which will replace the 2011 guidance. The consultation paper contains a full draft of the proposed Statutory Guidance. The questions in this consultation are intended to gather your feedback on the content of the guidance. Please read or refer to the guidance while responding.
Closes 23 May 2025

Community Wealth Building (Scotland) Bill
Scottish Parliament
The Economy and Fair Work Committee wants to hear your views on the Community Wealth Building (Scotland) Bill. This Bill was introduced by the Scottish Government on Wednesday 20 March 2025. The Scottish Government says the purpose of this Bill is to ensure that CWB is implemented consistently across Scotland as an economic development tool. The Bill proposes to do three things: It would place a duty on the Scottish Ministers to publish a CWB statement which sets out the measures they will take to facilitate CWB. It would require local authorities and ‘relevant public bodies’ to publish and implement a CWB plan for their area. It would require ‘specified public bodies’ to have due regard to CWB guidance when developing their corporate plans and associated delivery strategies. The Scottish Government would like to hear views as to whether the Bill might achieve its aims, on the public bodies proposed, potential unintended consequences, and about benefits to local communities.
*NEW* Closes 23 May 2025

CONSULTATION RESPONSES

Industrial Transition for Scotland
In a submission for the UK Parliament’s Scottish Affairs Committee inquiry, BEFS argued that there is great potential for adaptation and reuse within Scotland’s rich industrial heritage. BEFS also highlighted the need to better align a new industrial transition to net zero goals, to invest in data and skills, and to work more effectively with local communities on place-based approaches. (BEFS 27/03/25)

Energy Performance Certificate Register Fees
This technical Scottish Government consultation invited views on proposed lodgement fees and amended penalty charges in the new regulatory system for Energy Performance Certificates. BEFS supported the introduction of audit, inspection and review processes to examine the impact of any changes and drew attention to BEFS Member concerns about any financial measures that could potentially disincentivise appropriate climate adaptations.

MOTIONS

S6M-16929
Submitted by: Shona Robison, Dundee City East, Scottish National Party.
Date lodged: 27/03/2025
That the Finance and Public Administration Committee recommends that the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (Group Relief and Sub-sale Development Relief Modifications) (Scotland) Order 2025 [draft] be approved.

S6M-17049
Submitted by: Gordon MacDonald, Edinburgh Pentlands, Scottish National Party.
Date lodged: 02/04/2025
That the Parliament recognises reports of the continued skills gap in the construction sector, including in the Edinburgh Pentlands constituency; notes recent statistics from the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) indicating positive shifts in perceptions of the sector across the country and, it understands, that almost three quarters (74%) of young people aged between 16 and 24 in Scotland hold a positive view of construction careers and more than a third (36%) would consider working in the construction sector; further notes the belief that more must be done to increase awareness of careers in the sector to ensure that the construction industry has a steady supply of labour with the necessary skills, and welcomes industry-led initiatives that seek to increase engagement between young people and Scotland’s construction sector such as the CIOB’s Student Challenge and the Scottish Traditional Building Forum’s skills demonstration programmes.
