About the SWC

The SWC is a charitable organisation funded to consult with women throughout Scotland so that their views, issues and concerns can be used to influence public policy.

The information is used for no other purpose and is not passed on to any third party.

If you do not wish to remain on the mailing list, you are free at any time to contact the organisation to have your details deleted. An SWC member of staff will undertake this timeously.
