Barnardo’s Scotland’s journey to implement the promise

Barnardo’s Scotland is one of the larger children’s charities and works with thousands of children, young people and families every year. We deliver a wide range of services across Scotland, and use information and experience from our services, and from the children and young people we work with, to seek positive change in policy and practice. Here’s some examples on what we’ve done since February 2020 to embed The Promise into practice.

The following examples are then contained within the tree:

• Investment in strategic and operational roles
• Develop a Promise Oversight Board
• Create our own Barnardo's Implementation Plan 21-24
• Devised promise awareness training for all
• Attend Promise Scotland Design School
• All staff are identified as either Promise Keepers or Promise Champs
• Increased collaboration with internal children's rights and advocacy service
• Children, young people and families at the centre of everything we do

• Increased focus on partnership working with local authorities and other agencies
• Improve participation opportunties for those we support
• Developed mechanism for communication, progress and practice
