How good is our third sector participation in Children’s Services Planning? - A Learning Report
Created: 23/05/2025Children in Scotland recently published a new report which explores the learning from recent activity delivered through the Supporting the Third Sector project.
This report focuses on intensive locality support delivered in three localities supporting the implementation of the ‘How good is our third sector participation in Children’s Services Planning? self-evaluation tool'.
Working across Aberdeenshire, Dumfries and Galloway, and Glasgow, the project has supported Children's Services Planning Partnerships to consider the role of the third sector in children's services planning.
Learning from across the three areas has clearly demonstrated the positive impact of the self-evaluation process on relationships between the third sector and statutory partners. This has stimulated a shared understanding of children's services planning, developed relationships, and created clear opportunities for engagement.
