The Promise Scotland approached responding to this consultation guided by one question: will this proposal #KeepThePromise?

This involved a detailed process of looking at the NCS proposal alongside the Independent Care Review:

Based on this evidence, The Promise Scotland cannot reach a binary yes or no decision. Therefore, it cannot say whether the proposals will or will not #KeepThePromise.

It will remain engaged in the national discussion and aim to support whatever decision is made as a result of this consultation but only on the basis that Scotland’s commitment to #KeepThePromise, as swiftly as it can, to its children and families, is maintained and clearly articulated.

Change remains urgent and must continue unabated and unimpeded during this debate – and beyond its conclusion.

All the Independent Care Review 80+ conclusions must be implemented, in sequence, at pace and in full.

There may be more than one way to do this, but there can be only one outcome: the promise is kept.
