The No One Left Behind National Products Handbook is aimed at employability providers across Scotland and brings existing No One Left Behind resources together into one place. The handbook explains what the resources are, how they fit together and suggests how and when they can be used by delivery partners. Partners are encouraged to use these resources and adapt them to best suit local needs.
Through their use, the intention is to enable a clear understanding of expectations, standards, and commitments for employability services. This aims to deliver consistency whilst retaining the ability to develop and deliver services flexibly and in line with local needs and improve outcomes for employability participants.
This handbook has been designed in partnership between Scottish and local government and the resources are subject to our shared continuous improvement agenda.
This iteration of the handbook was published in January 2025.
Please contact EmployabilitySG@gov.scot if you have any questions on its use or wish to provide any other feedback.
