Corporate Parenting Plan 2022-2027

Our Corporate Parenting Plan 2022-2027 outlines our strategy and priorities for the upcoming years.

The University of Edinburgh has worked closely with our care-experienced and estranged students to create this corporate parenting action plan. We were also inspired and influenced by our external partners from the Hub for Success, Who Cares? Scotland and Stand Alone.

Our work is underpinned by The Promise Scotland.
