Aberlour Childcare Trust – Duty of Candour 2023 – 2024

The health (Tobacco, Nicotine etc. and Care) (Scotland) Act 2016 was implemented on 1st April 2018 placing an organisational duty (Duty of Candour) on health, care, and social work services. This is a legal requirement which means that when things go wrong and mistakes happen, the people affected understand what has happened, receive an apology, and that organisations learn how to improve for the future.  

An important part of this duty is that we provide an annual report about the duty of candour in our services. This short report describes how Aberlour Child Care Trust has operated the duty of candour during the time between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024.
