On February 5 2020, it published its full findings, with an ambition for Scotland that all its children and young people will grow up loved, safe and respected— so that they will realise their full potential. At the time Scotland's First Minister promised that the country would implement these recommendations in full by 2030. That commitment received the support of all of the Scottish Parliament's political parties, and so Parliament made the promise. Since this promise was made, a large number of different things have been set up to help to keep it. The Promise Scotland is one of these. |
