Sturgeon Admits 'The Promise' to Reform Care System at Risk of Failure
- Sturgeon admitted her policy to help care experienced children is at risk of failure
- The Promise was meant to overhaul the system by 2030 so all young people felt "loved, safe and respected"
- There's an "implementation gap" - the policy is failing to create real change
- The Promise responded to a report finding children in care were overpoliced and overcriminalized
- Sturgeon announced The Promise in 2016 after meeting and being moved by people from care backgrounds
