In 2011, the Scottish Government embarked on a new phase of work to tackle sectarianism. Central to this work has been the input of independent advice through the Advisory Group on Tackling Sectarianism in Scotland (the Advisory Group). The Advisory Group published its interim report in December 2013 and the Scottish Government published its response to this in February 2014. The final report of the Advisory Group is being published alongside this Scottish Government response in May 2015.
