Our response to the First Minister's decision to resign
“As First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon’s strong leadership paved the way for an ambitious policy programme for Scotland’s children and families. With her personal commitment, Scotland’s understanding of the impact of trauma and the need to prevent harm to children has really improved.
"The First Minister always made time for the children and families we work alongside. From celebrating the achievements of our Glasgow peer support network, Women 1st, to launching our partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, her commitment has had a real impact. Her ongoing commitment to The Promise is heartening.
"We want to thank her for everything she has done to put children first as First Minister and wish her the very best for the future. We look forward to working with her successor to continue work to uphold children’s rights and keep children safe, loved and well, with their families."
