Getting It Right for Every Child: A National Policy Framework to Promote Children's Well ‐being in Scotland, United Kingdom

ConclusionsAlthough the policy has groundbreaking potential, inherent tensions must be resolved and the processes of change carefully managed in order for GIRFEC to be effective. It remains to be seen whether GIRFEC can fulfil the Scottish government's aspirations to reduce inequalities and improve lifelong outcomes for Scotland's children and young people. In terms of both a national children's well‐being framework within a universal public service context and a distinct style of policymaking and implementation, the Scottish experience represents a unique case study of whole‐country, transformational change and is of relevance to other jurisdictions.
