Aberlour Evidence to Scottish Parliament on the National Care Service (Scotland) Bill

Scotland has a well-articulated ambition that Scotland should be ‘the best place in the World to grow up’.

For Scotland truly to be the best place in the World to grow up this must mean that no child or young person: lives in poverty;is removed from their family when they can safely be supported to stay at home; experiences discrimination; suffers a mental health crisis due to a lack of support; dies from alcohol, drugs or suicide as a result of the ongoing impact of childhood trauma.

In order to achieve this, we need radical change within the delivery of children’s services that guarantees all children, young people and families the help they need when they need it.
