Scottish Government - A Guide to Implementing Getting it right for every child:Messages from Pathfinders and Learning Partners

Aim of the implementation guide:

In 2008, the Scottish Government published A Guide to Getting it right for every child, which explains the approach, especially the Values and Principles, Core Components and the National Practice Model.

This implementation guide builds on the 2008 guide and should be read with
reference to it (see The Scottish Government 2008 A Guide to Getting it right
for every child, Edinburgh, Scottish Government )
(www.scotland.gov.uk/gettingitright).

This implementation guide shows what needs to be done by people at every
level across all agencies and sectors to bring about the changes that are
necessary to implement Getting it right for every child.

It identifies essential culture, systems and practice changes and sets out what different people in organisations need to do to progress this agenda successfully.

It provides strategic managers, operational managers and practitioners with examples of what works in practice gleaned from the experience of pathfinders and learning partners and summarises the features that make for successful
implementation.

The guide has particular relevance for those who are leading change at different levels in their Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs). Such
partnerships include local authorities, health boards, the police, fire and rescue services, enterprise agencies and transport partnerships. In addition to
statutory partners, CPPs typically involve voluntary and private sectors.

The guide is relevant to all those involved with children and young people and their families in children’s and adults’ services.

It explains what chief officers in statutory agencies or in the voluntary or private sectors have found helpful in leading implementation. It provides information for strategic or operational managers and practitioners on their roles and responsibilities during implementation.
