Between June and November 2024, we worked in partnership with Police Scotland to engage with Care Experienced young people across Scotland, to inform the 2024-27 Police Scotland Corporate Parenting Plan.
The aim of this project was to gather Care Experienced young people’s views and experiences of interactions with Police Scotland, to review the previous Corporate Parenting Plan, and to make recommendations for the next Corporate Parenting Plan.
To ensure Care Experienced young people’s voices were at the forefront of this project, our Youth Engagement Workers worked with Care Experienced MSYPs to co-design this project, to create a survey and focus group plan, analyse the findings, and agree recommendations.
120 Care Experienced young people took part in this project, through an online survey and taking part in focus groups. The findings from this engagement and a set of recommendations were presented to Police Scotland in November 2024. The report from this project will be published soon!
