Permanence

At the heart of all of our permanence work is our absolute focus on the needs of the child. We want to see an end to the unacceptably long waiting times experienced by so many looked after children. Our vision is that every looked after child in Scotland will be provided with a settled, secure and permanent place to live, quickly and with minimum disruption to their young lives.
