The board, which monitors Scotland’s progress in keeping The Promise – a series of 80 recommendations to improve the lives of care-experienced children and young people – has found that the country is no longer on track for its 2021 to 2024 aims, as set out in The Promise’s 10-year implementation plan.
The 10-year plan aims to see the recommendations from Scotland’s Independent Care Review implemented across the country by 2030, with the 2021 to 2024 phase focusing on five priority areas: planning, a good childhood, building capacity, whole family support and supporting the workforce.
The report states that the board “does not believe that delivering the original aims of the plan [for] 21-24 is realistic within its given timeframe”, but adds that if everyone “plays their part” it is still achievable for recommendations made by the review to be implemented by 2030.
