Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC)

Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC) is a Scottish framework focused on ensuring that all children and young people receive the support they need to thrive. It emphasizes a proactive, holistic approach, considering the child's well-being across key areas like health, education, and personal development. Central to GIRFEC is the "Named Person" and "Core Approach," which encourage collaboration among professionals and families to identify and address issues early. The goal is to promote positive outcomes, ensure children feel safe and supported, and empower them to reach their full potential throughout their development.
