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.
