Working with families

The Promise aspiration is that Scotland's children will grow up loved, safe and respected. As a childminder you are a key person who can keep this Promise for the children in your care.

Keeping the Promise means that babies, children, young people and their families receive the help they need, when they need it, to ensure that they can all stay together. For children who can’t live with their parents and live with another family member, in a foster or adoptive family or other care setting, the Promise is about ensuring they have high quality compassionate care and support and feel that their rights are respected and realised. How aware of The Promise are you and have you thought about how you can help to keep it? You can find out more about The Promise here.
