On this episode, we focus on public policy as it effects care experienced young people.

In October 2016, the First Minister made a commitment that Scotland would "come together and love its most vulnerable children to give them the childhood they deserve." She announced an Independent Root and Branch Review of Care ("the Care Review"), driven by those with experience of care.

A promise was made to children and young people that day by the most powerful people in the country. With political will and resources, the recommendations in the review would be delivered in full by 2030.

The Promise Scotland is responsible for driving the work of change demanded by the findings of the Independent Care Review. This week, two years on from the review's publication, the Oversight board of the Promise has produced its first progress report on that 10-year transformation plan.

Graeme Roy speaks to Fiona Duncan and David Anderson of The Promise to explore its findings.

The Promise Oversight Board is critical to ensuring that the Promise made to Scotland's children and families is kept. More information on the work of the Oversight Board and its membership, which includes Spotlight podcast host Kezia Dugdale, can be found at: https://thepromise.scot/
