Who Cares? Scotland

The latest Oversight Board report warns that change is not happening at the scale or pace required to keep the Promise to children and families by 2030.

At Who Cares? Scotland, we welcome this report and its calls for urgency and action.

Read the statement from Kay McKerrell, our Chief Executive below ⬇️

Over six years ago, a promise was made to the Care Experienced community that all of Scotland’s children would grow up loved, safe and respected and the care ‘system’ as we know it would be transformed.

This was a result of tireless campaigning from the community and our 1000 Voices Campaign over many years.

Is that Promise being kept? Kay, our Chief Executive gave evidence to the Education Committee yesterday to talk about exactly that ⬇️

📺 We’ve spotted advocacy on TV!

Whilst advocacy has been around for decades, we rarely see the role of an advocacy worker portrayed on screen.

At Who Cares? Scotland, we’ve provided independent advocacy since the 90s. Our role is to make sure that Care Experienced people’s voices and views are heard and taken into account when decisions are being made about their lives.

So, when we saw it in action on Grey’s Anatomy, we had to share it! 👀
