CELCIS have published some comprehensive information on the children’s services research.
Following the publication of the Independent Review of Adult Social Care in 2021 (also known as ‘the Feeley report’), the Scottish Government committed to building a National Care Service (NCS).
The creation of a National Care Service will inevitably bring change to the Children’s Services landscape. This is because it will change the current service delivery landscape. CELCIS has been asked by the Scottish Government to carry out a research study to improve the understanding of current Children’s Services structures and delivery models in Scotland.
CELCIS, the Centre for Excellence for Children’s Care and Protection, is a leading improvement and innovation centre in Scotland. They are passionate about improving children’s lives by supporting people and organisations to drive long-lasting change in the services they need, and the practices used by people responsible for their care.
The research CELCIS is conducting will look at how public services are provided and configured in Scotland and draw on a range of international evidence too. The news announcement of this work can be found here.
Furthermore, CELCIS have put together an independent steering group centred around children’s services research. The independent steering group, chaired by Professor Brigid Daniel, Professor Emerita at Queen Margaret University, will oversee the scope of the research. This group has been set up to oversee and direct independent research into how best to deliver children’s services in the context of the National Care Service. The purpose of the research project is to answer the question: how do we ensure that children, young people and families get the help they need, when they need it?
More information on the steering group can be found here.
