Scottish Attachment in Action joins the voice of the Care Review and the Scottish Government. Scotland must love its families and become lifelong good parents. #keepthepromise
The Care Review has produced seven main reports: The Promise reflects what over 5,500 care experienced children and adults, families and the paid and unpaid workforce told the Care Review in the hope that Scotland is listening.
