The Promise

The promise is that Scotland's children and young people will grow up loved, safe and respected.

To keep it, Scotland must bring about the change demanded by its Independent Care Review. Keeping the promise means implementing all of its conclusions in full.

Scotland's Independent Care Review was built on what children and young people had to say. They called for it, and took part in it at huge levels.

When its findings were published in 2020, Scotland's then First Minister pledged that the country would #KeepThePromise.

That commitment got the support of all of the Scottish Parliament's political parties.
