The awards celebrate the collaborative work carried out by schools, health visitors, doctors, nurses, midwives, social workers, family services and anyone working to improve services for children across Scotland. Their work strengthens services and ensures their availability to every child throughout all aspects of their lives, providing equal opportunity to thrive, learn and succeed. The awards were open to those delivering improvement work through the Maternity and Children’s Quality Improvement Collaborative, run by Healthcare Improvement Scotland, and the Children and Young People Improvement Collaborative, run by the Scottish Government.

The winners were announced at the awards ceremony at the Radisson Blu in Glasgow.
