The five foundations

The promise was built on five foundations, voice, care, family, people and scaffolding, that must be at the heart of how Scotland plans for and supports children, young people, families, and care experienced adults.

Plan 24-30 breaks down the different delivery actions across the five foundations into 25 themes, providing a route map with milestones to 2030. Each of the calls to actions from the Independent Care Review are aligned across this to be clear who needs to what, by when to make sure the promise is kept in full by 2030.
