Abstract

This report details the findings of the independent evaluation of Shetland's Anchor Project (2018-2023). This evaluation was funded by the Scottish Government. The Anchor Project sits within an ambitious Scottish Government policy landscape to eradicate child poverty through involving children and families in a fair and inclusive manner. The overall aim of Anchor was to facilitate learning and action in family led problem solving and early intervention. Families are placed at the centre of decision making and the purpose is to direct resources towards early action rather than crisis management. A further aim was to enable system change by giving families and services the space to try out new ways of working together, moving from crisis intervention to early intervention and prevention.
