  3. Strategy

Our strategic plan sets out what we will do to achieve our mission and vision.

Our current strategic plan covers the period 2022-2027. It describes our aims and priorities for this period, and includes details of the resources required to achieve them. 

It is supported by other strategies and plans which bring focus to specific areas of statutory responsibility such as sustainability and Gaelic Language, and other high-level corporate commitments.
