New report explores the role of our third sector participation in Children’s Services Planning
Children in Scotland has published a new report today which explores the learning from recent activity delivered through the Supporting the Third Sector project.
This report focuses on intensive locality support delivered in three localities supporting the implementation of the ‘How good is our third sector participation in Children’s Services Planning? self-evaluation tool’.
Working across Aberdeenshire, Dumfries and Galloway and Glasgow, the project has supported Children’s Services Planning Partnerships to consider the role of the third sector in children’s services planning.
Learning from across the three areas has clearly demonstrated the positive impact of the self-evaluation process on relationships between the third sector and statutory partners. This has stimulated a shared understanding of children’s services planning, developed relationships and created clear opportunities for engagement.
Use of the tool has created opportunities for focused, honest and equal dialogue between partners in improving our CS [Children’s Services] planning, engagement and participation of TSOs [Third Sector Organisations]

Learning report on 2024-25 intensive locality support
This report aims to provide insight into the use of the ‘How good is our third sector participation in Children’s Services Planning?’ self-evaluation toolkit across 2024-25. In that period, Children in Scotland, through the Supporting the Third Sector Project (STTS Project) worked directly with three Children’s Services Planning Partnerships to consider the role of the third sector in local children’s services planning.
