In 2007 the Scottish Government launched the National Performance Framework which set out, among other things, its vision for children and young people. Part of that vision is a commitment to provide all children with the best start in life and encourage young people to develop into successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.
Parenting is the most important factor in determining the future health, well-being and achievements of Scotland’s children. Which is why all families should be entitled to the best possible support to help them in their vital role of bringing up children.
