Bright Spots - Thank you!

10 May 2024

A huge ‘Thank you!’ to all who have encouraged and supported our children and young people in care and care leavers to respond to the Bright Spots survey and share their views on their wellbeing!

You have helped Aberdeen City Council to hear from:

  • 72% of our children and young people in care
    • 66% age 4-7
    • 75% age 6-11
    • 73% age 11-18
  • 69% of our care leavers

In the coming period,

  • CELCIS, with support from Coram Voice, will analyse the responses and produce a set of bespoke reports.
  • Later in the year, Aberdeen City Council will organise events to tell everyone what our children and young people feel about their lives, and we are committed to drawing up an action plan that will improve our services and make life better for all children and young people in care and care leavers.
  • We will keep you informed and involved in the next steps.

Thank you for your effort and commitment

Andrea and Susanne
