You can find out more about this scheme and see associated resources on the model publication schemes page.
Below you can view older model publication schemes which are still in operation by a range of Scottish public authorities. These schemes tend to have been produced by bodies representing groups of public sector organisations. As the approvals for these schemes expire (see the Commissioner's programme of approvals), the Commissioner anticipates that adoption of the single annual model publication scheme will become common practice across all authorities.
