  • Impact of Family Group Decision Making in Scotland

    Created: 28/04/2025
    News/Events Category: Children and Families


    This report sets out a summary of findings based on research undertaken by Children First, supported by the Promise Partnership, Keep the Promise Fund, on the background, current practice and options for future development of family group decision making in Scotland.

    With around two thirds of local authorities offering family group decision making and references in both legislation and policy the report concludes that there is a clear foundation to build on, with strong commitment from a range of professionals who are already helping families benefit from this model of practice. However, the report also finds clear limitations in Scotland’s framework that may act as barriers, leading to gaps in practice.

    The report makes four recommendations to ensure that family group decision making is available to every child who may benefit from it in Scotland, to help keep the Promise.
