BEMIS
BEMIS is the national Ethnic Minorities led umbrella body supporting the development of the Ethnic Minorities Voluntary Sector in Scotland. BEMIS was established in 2002 to promote the interest of minority ethnic voluntary organisations, develop capacity and support inclusion and integration of ethnic minorities communities. It is a member-led and managed organisation with an elected board of directors. The major aims and objectives of BEMIS are to represent and support the development of the ethnic minority voluntary sector across Scotland, and to support the diverse communities and individuals that this sector represents, especially those who are under- represented and disadvantaged. BEMIS aims to address inequalities by empowering communities, working towards an inclusive society by establishing structures, which recognise diversity and empowers ethnic minorities, and ensuring that they are fully recognised and supported as a valued part of the Scottish multicultural civic society.
Better Health
While there has been progress in the equalities agenda over the last decade, there is evidence to suggest that inequalities persist in access to and the provision of health services. The Better Health briefing papers explore these inequalities, providing evidence and signposting practitioners towards good practice in health services.

BOND - Better Outcomes New Delivery
The Government’s new Mental Health Strategy emphasises the crucial importance of early intervention in emerging emotional and mental health problems for children and young people. Early intervention has been shown to achieve improved outcomes for children, families and wider society such as increased learning and educational attainment, better physical health, improved long-term mental health and reduced health and social care costs. Finding appropriate help when experiencing emotional distress or mental health problems can be very confusing and intimidating. Voluntary and community organisations (VCSOs) have an important role to play in providing effective, high quality early intervention services as they are local, flexible, trusted, informal and friendly. To provide a vital resource for schools, local authorities and the NHS and as part of the Government’s policy on local determination of priorities, a strengthened voice for service users and the increased role of the VCS, the Department of Education is supporting a two-year sector-led programme which will build the capacity of VCSOs to deliver early intervention mental health support to children and young people called BOND – Better Outcomes, New Delivery. BOND will support the standard and range of early intervention delivery and the purchasing/commissioning processes. This will expand choice and provision of timely and efficient mental health services for children and young people throughout the sector.
