Overview

With the launch of Plan 24-30 this June, organisations across Scotland must continue building positive momentum to keep the promise to children, young people and their families.

Join our Keeping The Promise: Next Steps Digital Conference to hear from keynote speaker, Fiona Duncan, Independent Strategic Advisor on the promise, on the route map to 2030 and next steps for funding and delivery. Understand the current challenges facing children, young people and their families.

Plan 24-30 reaffirms the role and responsibilities of key partners, including local authorities, education, social work and the justice system. Join us online next January to hear about the next steps for delivery and make sure you are equipped to play your part in keeping the promise.

Expert speakers will share practical insights into positive change and progress of the promise so far. Understand how to uphold the five key foundations of the promise in policy and practice: voice, family, care, people and scaffolding.

We will spotlight key issues such as ensuring the voice of the care experienced community remains at the core of the promise. Learn how to prepare your workforce to meet the needs of children, young people and their families through a person-centred and trauma-informed approach.

Hear from sector leaders on how to unlock the barriers to keeping the promise moving forward, including data sharing and creating greater accountability across the system.

Bringing together colleagues from across Scotland, don’t miss this opportunity to learn, network and improve outcomes for children, young people and families. #KeepThePromise.
