Scotland’s No One Left Behind employment support programme recorded 7,268 new participants from April through June 2026, the Scottish Government said on November 11. That was 14% more than in the previous quarter and 13% more than in the same period a year earlier.

The government classifies the figures as official statistics in development. Recent quarters are provisional because eligibility checks can delay reporting.

From April 2019 to June 2026, 118,956 people began receiving support. The government recorded 37,663 participants entering employment over that period, or 32% of the total who began receiving support.
