Our fourth manifesto call is to deliver universal and intensive whole family support to all that need it, incorporating Open Kindergartens as an effective means of universal provision.

Parties should commit to investing in research about and with Scottish families, co-produce policies and strategies with families, and build strong relationships with organisations supporting families.
By doing so, we can create a Scotland where families are reflected and supported in policy.

Our third manifesto call is putting parents' and carers' views and experiences at the heart of decision making. Their voices must be valued to truly understand the constraints families experience and what can help, acknowledging differing experiences across demographics and communities.

As a first step we propose increasing the SCP to £40 per child per week in 2026, with a further uplift to £55 by the end of the next parliamentary term. This action is necessary if the Scottish Government is to meet the 2030 child poverty targets (which are currently not on target to be met).

Our first manifesto call is for the Scottish Child Payment (SCP) to be increased to £55 by 2030 to reduce child poverty.
Evidence shows us that increasing the SCP is the most effective way to meet the 2030 targets. As members of the End Child Poverty Coalition, we jointly call for this increase.

Having launched our 2026 Manifesto, we are going to be taking a deeper look each week at the six calls.
We believe that, if introduced, the six calls would have a profound and positive impact on the lives of parents, carers and their families in Scotland.
