Supporting Scotland's Children: Core Knowledge and Values is a new online resource which replaces the previous Common Core of Skills, Knowledge and Understanding and Values for the "Children's Workforce" in Scotland.
The online resource, sets out the essential knowledge and values that everyone working or volunteering with babies, children, young people and families should share, including children’s rights, wellbeing, safeguarding and partnership working.
Hosted by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), the aim is that Supporting Scotland’s Children will be used widely across services, from education and health to social work and the third sector.
The resource has been refreshed to reflect current policy priorities including Getting It Right For Every Child, The Promise, and UNCRC incorporation, and is intended as a practical tool for induction, training, and ongoing learning across all sectors. This resource will be reviewed on a 6 monthly basis to reflect any changes in policy.
