There must be changes to the way a Child’s Plan is put in place:

Commitment to a Plan for every child

Every child who comes to a Children’s Hearing must have either:

  • a Child’s Plan, or
  • a clear timeframe for when this Plan will be in place.

A national template

There must be a national template for a Child’s Plan.

Updated GIRFEC guidance must be aligned with the promise

The Scottish Government update of GIRFEC guidance around the Child’s Plan must align with both:

  • the conclusions of the Independent Care Review, and
  • the conclusions of this report.

In particular, the Child’s Plan must include further consideration of the support needs of the family.
