Congress backed a comprehensive strategy to address cuts and outsourcing in our Scottish public services.

Kate Ramsden spoke to ATUC’s amendment calling for the Scottish Government to end profit in children’s residential care, in line with the Promise Scotland.
She pointed out that a report from the Common Weal Care Reform Group found that £10.2 million is being extracted in private profit from children’s residential care.
“It can be done,” said Kate. “The Common Weal paper has shown how and Wales has passed legislation to take profit out of children’s care.
“Let’s give the Government a clear message that it cannot allow profit to be made on the backs of our most vulnerable children.”
