You will grow up loved, safe and respected.
And by 2030, that promise must be kept.

How was the promise made?

Scotland made its promise following the Independent Care Review in 2020.

Who supports Scotland to keep it?

The Promise Scotland supports people and organisations across Scotland to keep the promise.

And who makes sure it's kept?
