Development of 2026-2029 Children’s Services Plan

Dumfries and Galloway Council and NHS Dumfries and Galloway, working with our Community Planning partners, would like to hear your views to help make sure that the 2026-2029 Children’s Services Plan for Dumfries and Galloway is informed by the perspectives of key stakeholders and communities.  This will help us to satisfy Part 3 of the Children and Young People (Scotland) 2014 Act which requires every local authority and its relevant health board to jointly prepare a Children’s Services Plan every three years.
