The Getting It Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) framework is constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of children, families, and communities in Scotland. With The Promise at its core, the future of GIRFEC is focused on deeper collaboration, increased inclusivity, and even stronger support systems.
What’s on the Horizon for GIRFEC?
- Strengthening Family Support: GIRFEC will continue to prioritise early intervention, helping families access the right support before issues escalate. This aligns with The Promise’s vision of reducing the need for formal care placements.
- Focus on Love and Care: The Promise calls for love to be central to all child support services. GIRFEC is adapting by emphasising nurturing environments and compassionate care.
- Digital Integration: Future improvements may include better digital tools to streamline communication between families and professionals, ensuring children’s needs are met efficiently.
- Greater Inclusion: GIRFEC aims to address barriers that may prevent children from accessing services, creating a more inclusive framework for all.
The Role of The Promise
As GIRFEC evolves, The Promise will continue to shape its priorities, particularly in ensuring that children’s voices remain central to all decisions and that families feel supported and valued.
A Framework for Tomorrow
The future of GIRFEC is bright. By integrating lessons from The Promise and focusing on continuous improvement, GIRFEC will remain a cornerstone of Scotland’s commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and loving environment for every child.
