In order for the SCA to progress its mission to build a UK Content Framework, it is integral that we collaborate with the devolved administrations specifically and agencies and organisations with a Scottish, Northern Ireland and Welsh perspective more broadly.
We see these ‘Home Nations’ events as an opportunity to share knowledge and seek input from experts in these areas of the UK. We very much look forward to introducing the work of the SCA, learning more about the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish environments, and looking at how we can work together.
We are delighted to announce the next series of Home Nations Forums:
- Scotland Forum: Edinburgh, May 22
- Northern Ireland Forum: Belfast, May 29
- Wales Forum: Cardiff, June 5

Understanding audiences, their needs and behaviours, is at the heart of the SCA programme. The SCA must provide compelling evidence of the value of content aggregation and discovery across organisational boundaries, demonstrating increased convenience to the user. Only with good, practical evidence will it be possible to win the hearts and minds of others.
To this end, Chris Batt has completed a series of 16 interviews with all SCA sponsors (except Becta) and other primary content suppliers and his full report, based on the evidence from these interviews, is available to download here. Phase two of this workpackage will shortly be announced through an ITT for further work in this area.
