The whole landscape of systems and services that interact with children and families needs to change. ‘The promise’ makes clear the extent of change required, but the outcomes that Scotland needs to achieve are simple and reflect Scotland’s existing commitment that all children “grow up loved, safe and respected so they can fulfil their potential” In Aberdeen we know that commitment and alignment to The Promise requires more than sentiment and change from within single agencies. Aberdeen City’s Children’s Services Partnership is delivering on identified local commitments and actions to Keep the Promise through the Children’s Services Plan.
