Higher Aspirations - NRCCI Launch
The primary purpose of the NRCCI was to undertake a strategic review of residential child care services and make sector driven recommendations to the Scottish Government, local government and providers of residential child care.
Adam Ingram asked SIRCC to lead the NRCCI and thereby honour the Government’s commitment to working with partners to make residential care the first and best placement of choice for those children whose needs it serves.
