Supporting Scotland’s Children – Core Knowledge and Values replaces the previous Common Core. This online resource sets out the essential knowledge and values that everyone working with babies, children, young people and families should share, including children’s rights, wellbeing, safeguarding and partnership working.
The hope is that Supporting Scotland’s Children will be used widely across services, from education and health to social work and the third sector.
By embedding this shared resource, the aim is to support consistent, collaborative, high-quality practice across services and keep the needs and rights of babies, children and young people at the centre of decisions.
The resource has been refreshed to reflect current policy priorities including Getting It Right For Every Child, The Promise, and UNCRC incorporation, and is intended as a practical tool for induction, training, and ongoing learning across all sectors.
