Behaviour change

In this section you will be able to access, in particular, a number of toolkits which will help you design behaviour change initiatives into walking programmes, ensuring they are complementary to the built environment. From Paths for All’s Behaviour Change manual, to using the Scottish Government’s Individual, Social and Material approach to behaviour change. These toolkits are backed up with evidence and links to the Smarter Choices Programme and other national policies.
