Scotland Roadshow – September 2025

Standard

The Members and Members’ staff Services Team (MMSST), in collaboration with the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), is planning a roadshow event in Scotland this September. This forms part of a wider programme of roadshows taking place across the UK throughout the year.

What to expect

The roadshow event is aimed at all Members’ staff and is a valuable opportunity to learn more about the wide range of support and services available to you and connect with colleagues from other local offices.

The event will take place week commencing 8 September. Further information, including location and timings, will be communicated shortly.

Help to shape the event

The MMSST are keen to hear from you as we begin to plan the event. Please email MMSST@parliament.uk to receive a link to a short feedback form to share your suggestions.

We look forward to connecting with you in Scotland later this year.
