What this record is
National Government desk of Community Shield Scotland. Public papers only. A sourced line or a named gap — never a fake total.
Two sites, one brand
- My street (cshieldscotland.grok.me) — wards, crime, CiLIF, council desks, action toolkit.
- Government (this site) — people, Scottish Government, reserved UK in Scotland, NHS, NDPBs, owned companies, 32 council bodies.
This is not an asylum app. Hotels, EUSS and Home Office asylum cash are not mixed into this national record.
Rules (never broken)
- Missing is not zero.
- Pots are not mixed. Home Office is not Scot.gov. Lottery is not tax. NHS is not TME.
- Envelope is not outturn. Awards are not payments.
- Blank years stay blank. A series break is not a zero.
- Inclusion is not an allegation.
- ONS is the only authority for “public corporation”.
- No private addresses. No invented FOIs. No unpublished pounds.
What is live
- People — population, homelessness (HL1 ≠ HL2), pupils, EAL, looked-after children, labour market, health waits. Asylum stock is not mixed into people totals.
- Money — SG TME and outturn (labelled apart), SLGFS reserves, MoD and DWP Scotland lines, NHS and NDPB directory funding. Not one Scotland total.
- Places — 32 councils, AAR doors, usable reserves where extracted. Wards live on My street.
- Institutions — every national body has a card. SG, NHS boards, NDPBs, publishers. AASC primes and asylum NGOs are not listed.
- Owned — minister-owned companies, four NPBD public corporations, and the legal persons that sit under them (ScotRail Trains, Sleeper, Prestwick Holdco, CalMac, WES, Dundee Airport). BiFab is historical. Ferguson is not retagged as a public corporation.
- Data — CSV and JSON of the national register as at 25 August 2026. SRH cash Grant in Aid 2023/24 is a body ARA line, not a Money Trail press total. Ten-year cells stay blank until an ARA is loaded.
- FOI pack — national asks, copy, WDTK, do-not-send. Asylum-depth FOIs are not this pack.
Honest empties (not zeros)
- Wards, crime, CiLIF, council ALEOs — My street.
- Council £25k / £500 payment registers — My street.
- HO hotels, AASC cash, New Scots grants, EUSS — not mixed into this record.
- Owned-company annual reports 2015/16–2024/25 — published years sit on each Owned card. Blank years are not published, not zero.
- MoJ Scotland legal aid / IAC — missing, not zero.
- National Lottery awards that are not New Scots — not loaded.
- Social housing stock, pay tables, age structure — not opened.
- Corrections log — not opened as a queue yet.
Fill order from here
- Keep national series as the pack updates. Never invent a year.
- Owned ten-year accounts only from published annual reports. Do not scrape a money trail as grant-in-aid.
- More NDPB / NHS board outturn only when a published file isolates it.
- Council £25k stays on My street. Do not copy it here.
- Never merge asylum scheme stock into People totals.
