Social Work Scotland response to National Vision for Kinship Care: Consultation
February 2026
Introduction
Social Work Scotland (SWS) is the professional body for social work leaders, working closely with our partners to shape policy and practice, and improve the quality and experience of social services. We are committed to the rights-based principles and values of our profession, and therefore supportive of the ambitions of the Promise and efforts to improve the lives of those with whom we work. As co-chair of the Kinship Care Collaborative, we have long championed and contributed to improvement in the kinship care landscape and welcome this opportunity to comment on the Scottish Government’s vision for kinship care.
