Our Cost Benefit toolkit is an excellent resource that enables officers to evidence not only the cost benefits of initiatives and projects, but also how they have contributed financially to preventing public sector spending. This toolkit is the first to draw on all the available data on the economic cost per unit of community safety data in Scotland and can be used to evaluate the cost-benefit of preventative spend investment.
