Community of practice - Health and social care integration

Find out more about our Community of Practice and how to get involved.

The Children and Young People Community of Practice (CoP) is a vibrant community created as an inclusive space where passionate individuals from across the children and young people sector can connect, collaborate and share their valuable insights.

At the heart of the CoP is a shared goal to improve outcomes for children and young people by exchanging learning and ideas, and by creating opportunities to build strong connections.

Membership of the CoP is free and flexible, understanding the demands of your work and changing capacities. We will be publishing our Programme Events for the last half of 2026 shortly. If you have any questions or suggestions for event topics, get in touch at GIRFEC@alliance-scotland.org.uk
