GIRFEC is the national approach in Scotland to improving outcomes and supporting the wellbeing of our children and young people by offering the right help at the right time from the right people. It supports them and their parent(s) to work in partnership with the services that can help them.

Named Person
Most children and young people get all the help and support they need from their parent(s), wider family and community, but sometimes, perhaps unexpectedly, they may need a bit of extra help. Many parents say that when they need help it’s not available and they don’t know who to go to. The Named Person ensures that there is someone who is responsible for helping them get the support they need if and when they need it.
