Our Corporate Parenting Plan sets out our commitment to young people with care experience. In April 2015, the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act came into effect. This legislation outlines the Scottish Government’s commitment to making Scotland the best place in the world to grow up. The Act established a new legal framework for public services to work together in support of children, young people and families in Scotland. Our Corporate Parenting Plan is based on the duties listed in this legislation and outlines our action plan. We consider our action plan as an opportunity to continually improve. We are consistently monitoring and improving our plan, and identifying new actions. Throughout this process, our aim is to strengthen the relationships that we have built so far, make new connections while continuing to engage with organisations and people with lived experience of care.
