Who’s Who …
Realising our ambitions for Bairns’ Hoose is a team effort, here are some of the people involved in the journey.
Bairns’ Hoose is a crosscutting and ambitious policy area, spanning children and families, justice and health portfolios. It is supported by the Minister for Children, Young People and The Promise.
National Bairns’ Hoose Implementation Group
The National Bairns’ Hoose Implementation Group (NBHIG) was established in September 2024 to support the Pathfinder phase of the Bairns’ Hoose Programme. The NBHIG advises on Bairns’ Hoose Standards in different geographical and operational contexts and serves as a forum for resolving local issues which require national solutions, providing views and perspectives directly to Scottish Ministers. The group is comprised of senior leadership from Pathfinder and Affiliate partnerships and key partners such as, Scottish Children’s Reporters Administration, Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, Scottish Courts and Tribunal Services and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.
