Future Pathways offers support to people who were abused or neglected a child when they were in the Scottish care system. The service was established alongside the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry and has expanded considerably since its start in 2016. Future Pathways’ aim is to help people live well. Future Pathways supports people in their goals and helps people to work towards them. Support focuses on what is important for each person and is tailored to the individual.
Working closely with our Commissioner, the Scottish Government and more than 40 delivery partners, Future Pathways has pioneered a unique model of support that is transformative.
Read more about the difference we make here:
Our partnership approach is rooted in understanding that the impact of childhood trauma is individual and lifelong. We recognise that the experience of abuse in care often means people may face significant barriers to accessing much needed help.
As importantly, everyone we support will have different needs and have insight about what will work best for them. We provide a safe and trusted space for people to explore what is most important to them and to access tailored help toward their goals.
More than 2,600 people have registered. We have grown as more people seek support. Future Pathways hosts 6 support coordination teams and over 60 full-time equivalent staff.
