Other current change projects

The Promise in Places

The Promise in Places will focus on holistic change within specific local areas.

It will explore the potential for piloting whole system change in these places, with the aim of keeping the promise in its entirety.

This exploration will aim to draw on existing knowledge, and to provide useful learning for communities across all of Scotland.

Projects on behalf of Scottish Government

We continue to work on projects specifically on behalf of Scottish Government.

These include:

  • Scoping a blueprint for information held by care experienced people.
  • Recommending changes to the "care system’s" governance and accountability landscape . This will report by June 2024.
  • Developing a lifelong advocacy model for care experienced people. Recommendations around this have been sent to the Scottish Government, and will be available on this website shortly.
