POLICY: Review of GIRFEC guidance and support documents

RCN Scotland submission to the review of GIRFEC guidance and support documents

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) agrees that the guidance provides confidence in the importance of embedding and implementing Getting It Right for Every Child (GIRFFEC) to improve outcomes for children and families.

From a strategic governance perspective, RCN would be keen to emphasise the need for nursing staff to be part of the design process as one of the planning partners in producing the Children’s Services Plan - a core component of the GIRFEC approach.
