Please note:

  • The Extra Help Unit provides Scotland wide advice, as profiles are produced on a geographical basis the Extra Help Unit statistics are only included in national reports.

  • Statistics produced by CAS are as at the time of exporting from CAB systems. Locally produced CAB statistics may slightly differ from the ones reported by CAS due to local amendments after case checking.

  • There is a dedicated CAB office in 29 of Scotland’s 32 local authority areas but not in North Ayrshire, South Ayrshire or Inverclyde. Clients from these areas are supported by the national service.
