Fraser McKinley, Chief Executive of The Promise Scotland, and Sarah Davidson, Chief Executive of Carnegie Trust UK

In this week's episode we focus on The Promise - the term used for the work required to deliver the findings of a review published in 2020 into the care system and what it would take to ensure every child in Scotland could grow up loved, safe and respected. 

We speak to Fraser McKinley, Chief Executive of The Promise Scotland, the organisation set up to support and drive the change to deliver on the promise. 

We also talk to Sarah Davidson, Chief Executive of Carnegie UK, about wider challenges around delivering on The Promise in the context of wider public sector reform.
