Updated ALLIANCE GIRFEC resources now available

Information on revised resources for the Getting to know Getting It Right For Every Child.
The ALLIANCE Getting to know GIRFEC team have co-produced revised GIRFEC resources to take account of the Scottish Government announcement that, while GIRFEC remains the key approach to supporting children in Scotland, the Scottish Government no longer intends to introduce the Named Person or the Child’s Plans aspects of GIRFEC through legislation but that these aspects will continue to be supported through strong policy and guidance.
Our new plain English and easy read resources are freely available on the Getting it right for Every Child – Resources section of our website.
These resources take a rights based approach and set out what children, young people and their parents should expect. They are informative for children, young people, families and practitioners alike.
If your organisation would like to discuss these materials or to arrange free GIRFEC training, please contact us at GIRFEC@alliance-scotland.org.uk or 0141 404 0231.
