Significant updates made to all route maps

Significant updates have been made to the Plan 24-30 route maps, to help everyone working to keep the promise with clear outcomes and routes to 2030.

The Promise Scotland has worked with organisations and stakeholders to develop the route maps, with milestones, commitments and clear outcomes from now, to 2030. 

What are the route maps?

The route maps are national level plans, which build on the progress and positive changes already made. Taken together, the 25 make up Scotland’s shared planning framework to keep the promise. They cover all the conclusions of the Independent Care Review, staying true to what children, young people and care experienced adults said must happen. 

Each route map outlines the timebound route Scotland must take to make the change required, including:

• what must be delivered for the promise to be kept, 

• who is responsible for doing it, 

• when it must be done, and 

• how route maps depend on each other for progress. 

Clear outcomes

In updating the route maps, work has been undertaken to make delivery clearer. The promise’s calls to action have been made into clear, measurable outcomes with timebound milestones, which: 

• are clear and measurable, which organisations can work to, and be held to account for delivering  

• provide the clarity needed on milestones (what), responsibilities (who) and sequencing (when)   

• captured exactly what must happen by 2030 for the promise to be kept  

They do not replace the original calls to action, but translate them into a format that support delivery, accountability and monitoring. 

While Scotland now has a route, the route maps will not be static plans from here, and will continuously be developed, adapt and be added to as Scotland progresses in its journey to keeping the promise.  

Reviewing

Everyone working to keep the promise should spend the next month to use the website and review the updated route maps.

The more everyone working to keep the promise engages with the route maps, by adding updating content, the better they will become.

After the initial feedback period, The Promise Scotland will be setting out more detail on how it will support organisations to take these route maps, and translate them into their own plans to keep the promise by 2030.
