Who Cares? Scotland Action on Advocacy Campaign

Lodged by Douglas Ross Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the Action on Advocacy campaign, launched by Who Cares? Scotland on 21 February 2025 to coincide with Care Day, an international day celebrating care-experienced people; understands that this campaign is being launched at a crucial time, five years after the publication of The Promise, with the recent Promise Oversight Board report showing that Scotland is not on track to fulfil its commitments by 2030; considers that independent advocacy is essential to ensure that care experienced people can access their rights, navigate complex systems, and have their voices heard; supports the campaign call for the proposed Promise Bill to enshrine the statutory right to independent, relationship-based, lifelong advocacy for every care experienced person in Scotland who needs it, in line with the commitment in The Promise that care experienced children and adults must have the right and access to independent advocacy at all stages of their experience of care and beyond, and calls on the Scottish Government to include this right within the proposed Promise Bill to ensure that care-experienced people are heard, their rights are upheld, and their futures are supported.
