Join us for a free event exploring the testimony of Scotland’s #CareExperienced community on 17 August. #ThePromise sets out that by 2030 every child in Scotland will grow up loved, safe and respected to realise their full potential. Yet, over half of Scotland’s looked-after children live in the most deprived areas, are more likely to have additional support needs, lower school attendance and higher rates of exclusion. How far has Scotland come in fulfilling The Promise? The panel features @NTSonline @RCStweets @ypceleadership and award-winning actor, producer and author Scott Kyle (best known for his role in #Outlander). Book your tickets here: ow.ly/J90250ZwBPZ
