Bairns' Hoose - project plan: progress report and pathfinder delivery plan 2023 to 2025

Bairns' Hoose Next Steps

Our Bairns' Hoose Project Plan and its actions, has been the subject of ongoing review to reflect emerging learning from stakeholders, evaluation of the Scottish Child Interview Model (SCIM) and international Barnahus developments, wider conversations about how the Bairns' Hoose should work in Scotland and discussions relating to the scope and development of the Standards.

From this bank of learning, new and revised actions have been developed to drive progress over 2023 – 25. Some of these actions are now encompassed in the Pathfinder Delivery Plan. The following overarching actions from the 2022 Project Plan will also be carried forward as part of this work.
