• A scoping group involving Voluntary Action Scotland is
developing proposals for a national project to strengthen
the contribution of the third sector to improving
outcomes for children and young people through GIRFEC,
particularly through local partnership working.
• With the announcement of the Early Years and Early
Intervention Change Programme, the focus of the
proposals has been expanded to encompass supporting
the third sector’s contribution to the change programme
at a local level.
