What The Promise Scotland Does
Part of: The Promise Scotland
The Promise Scotland: Supporting Scotland’s promise
The Promise Scotland supports people and organisations as they act to keep Scotland's promise to care experienced people.
It does this through:
- leading Change Projects to drive change across Scotland, and
- supporting other organisations to make the changes they need to #KeepThePromise.
Change Projects
The Promise Scotland steps in to lead Change Projects where gaps exist in the change that's currently happening.
Supporting organisations to change
The Promise Scotland can offer support to organisations who act to #KeepThePromise.
Five ways The Promise Scotland supports the promise
It supports The Promise Oversight Board as it checks up on Scotland’s progress
The Promise Scotland supports the Promise Oversight Board as it monitors Scotland's progress in keeping the promise.
It works closely with the “care system” to help it change
A lot of organisations provide services that impact children and families. The Promise Scotland supports them to work with each other, as they move towards doing things differently.
It identifies where there are challenges in keeping the promise
When Plan 21-24 was created, The Promise Scotland mapped out the barriers that existed to keeping the promise. It will continue to do this as Scotland works through what’s laid out by the Plan.
It helps Scotland know what needs to change
The Promise Scotland tells people and organisations across the country what change is needed to #KeepThePromise, and helps get them engaged in the process of keeping it.
It makes sure this work is accessible to everyone, especially children and families.
It coordinates the changes that need to happen
Through the Plan and Change Programme, the Promise Scotland helps coordinate change across Scotland.
Nationally and locally, it plays a leadership role in making sure the services care experienced children and young people need are developed and invested in.
And it supports organisations across Scotland to #KeepThePromise.
