Decision Time
Marwick, Tricia NPA Mid Fife and Glenrothes Watch on SPTV
The next question is, that motion S4M-01197, in the name of Angela Constance, on reducing the time needed to find a permanent home for looked-after children, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament supports the Scottish Government placing the importance of permanence and stability at the heart of its approach to improving the life chances of looked-after children; acknowledges that there is still some delay in the processes as indicated in the Scottish Children’s Reporter’s Administration report, Care and Permanence Planning for Looked After Children in Scotland; welcomes the Scottish Government’s response to the report, which builds on the work of the Looked After Children Strategic Implementation Group, and agrees that a collaborative multi-agency approach to improving the quality of decisions affecting looked-after children finding permanent placements is required.
