Welcome to our consultation on Qualifications Scotland’s draft Corporate Parenting Plan Commitments 2027-30.
Please read the commitments we have identified to meet our responsibilities as a Corporate Parent and to make a difference to Scotland’s Care Experienced people.
Our survey has 10 questions and should take around 15 minutes to complete. Please note the survey will close on Friday 20 November 2026.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
What is Corporate Parenting?
Corporate Parenting is the formal and moral responsibility of public bodies, like Qualifications Scotland, to uphold the rights, promote the wellbeing, and improve outcomes for Care Experienced people.
What am I being asked to do?
The survey will ask for your views on our draft Corporate Parenting Plan commitments, to what extent you agree with these commitments, and whether any changes should be made. The survey is open until 20 November at 5pm and should take around 15 minutes to complete.
How will my information be handled?
Your answers are completely anonymous and no identifying information about you will be collected or kept. To protect your identity, data that has not been anonymised or analysed will only be shared with those working directly on the research. Because the survey is anonymous, we will not be able to remove your data once you have started the survey. Your data will be stored securely in a drive that can only be accessed by those working directly on the research. After the research has been published, this data will be destroyed. The information we collect in this survey will only be used to make changes to the draft Corporate Parenting Plan.
How should I answer the survey?
