The Promise Story of Progress aims to help Scotland to understand how change is happening & where improvement is needed.

Updates have been made to the 3 kinds of data included, with each offering a different but equally important perspective. Learn more: ow.ly/hAIE50XKM0P
'Promise Story of Progress: Viewing the data' alongside a stylised magnifying glass on a dark blue background. Three kinds of data make up the Promise Story of Progress: national level data shows what is changing over time, organisational level data shows how those changes are happening, and the experience lens shows if those changes are being felt. Text reads "When viewing the Promise Story of Progress, and bringing all three parts together, it’s important to remember Scotland made the promise, and we are all part of that national picture. There is a role for everyone to play in ensuring the data and information in The Promise Story of Progress is being used to understand change, create change, and inform how this work continues."

Updates have been made to all three questions in the Promise Story of Progress.

This is a different approach to measuring progress, by having real experience at the centre. It helps people to understand what things need to change and how they can change. 1/2⬇️

On a dark blue background with colourful connected circles suggesting connecting data. Text explains that the Promise Story of Progress brings together different types of information to answer three questions: How is Scotland doing in its progress towards keeping the promise? How are organisations doing in their work to keep the promise? Are the care community feeling the impact of the promise being kept?
