This Code of Practice and the associated guidance and templates are intended to provide a practical support framework for touring in Scotland. They were developed by the FST Touring Strategy Group whose membership represented a cross-section of our membership and was endorsed by our members at their meeting on 28 March 2019.

The document is a work in progress and will develop as experience of the CS Touring Fund grows, comments on how this document works in practice are very welcome.

The document was updated in May 2023 and reformatted in July 2024. A pdf can be downloaded below.
