Education, Children and Young People Committee

The Promise: Whole Family Wellbeing

Meeting date: 15 January 2025

Pam Duncan-Glancy

Are the services and systems able to follow the young person or does the young person have all the information when they go somewhere else? With that no-wrong-door approach, who is following and helping them?

That was helpful. Thank you. From your point of view, Liz Nolan, with a slightly different set of circumstances, how do we make sure that the people you support do not fall through?

Does that drive use of 15-minute timetables?

Good morning to you all, and thank you for joining us. Liz, you mentioned that you take referrals from other areas of the country, including Glasgow. How does that work? How do you create space for referrals from other areas? If you do not have space, what happens to the women in those areas?

What happens to the children and young people in the schools who do not have that? Where do they go?

It sounds like a really co-ordinated support package. When Fraser McKinlay gave evidence, he said that the system can sometimes get in the way of itself—that is how he described it. Claire Burns noted that co-ordination can unlock barriers. How have you been able to do that? Tell us. Help us understand how you have been able to unlock systemic barriers through that co-ordinated approach.

Thank you. That is helpful.

I will move slightly towards the unmet need question that we have heard about. We spoke about some of the schools and we heard Liz Nolan and Fiona Bradford talk about there being a code of silence. Young people who are going through things might not necessarily be known to the system, and their families might not know about it. Liz Nolan mentioned areas in Scotland, of which Glasgow is one, where there is some need. CELCIS gave evidence in advance of this session and said that we need more data on that, because some people fall through the cracks.

Fiona Bradford, I will come to you first. What more could we do across services to make sure that does not happen?

So much has come out of this session. I am sure that we all hugely appreciate the time that you have given and the important situations that you have put on the record. Thank you for doing that.

I want to look a little bit more at education with Claire McGuigan. You mentioned that seven schools out of 17 in your area have access to the pathfinders service, which means that 10 schools do not. We know that young people with care experience are more likely to not attend school and are more likely to be excluded. We know that the outcomes are not what we need them to be for those young people to flourish and, ultimately, for us to be able to deliver the Promise for them. Can you tell us what you and your service do to support attendance in schools so that children can flourish at school?

It is less than £1 million per local authority, and the need is particularly great, but—

Can I ask a question in relation to universities?
