Children at the heart

CELCIS is the Centre for excellence for looked after children in Scotland. Together with partners, we are working to improve the lives of all looked after children in Scotland.

There is already a great deal being done to improve children’s experiences throughout their journeys within the care system. Since being established in 2011, CELCIS has been committed to further improving the outcomes and opportunities for looked after children through a collaborative and facilitative approach that is focused on having the maximum positive impact on their lives.

To do so, we will:

• work with partners to improve the care experience and outcomes for all looked after children
• place the interests of children at the heart of our work
• provide a focal point for the sharing of knowledge and the development of best practice
• provide a wide range of services to improve the skills of those working with looked after children.
