The latest Whole Family Wellbeing Funding (WFWF) Newsletter has now been published, providing an update on national policy developments, learning opportunities, and examples of good practice from across Scotland.

A key announcement is the introduction of the new Whole Family Support System Change Programme, which will bring together WFWF, Fairer Future Partnerships and Early Adopter Areas into a single integrated programme from April 2027. During the 2026–27 transitional year, partners are encouraged to continue current delivery while contributing to co-design and engagement activities that will shape the future programme.

The newsletter also highlights:

A reminder for Children’s Services Planning Partnerships to complete and submit their Year 4 Whole Family Wellbeing Funding Annual Reports.
Learning from recent Learning into Action Network events, including collaborative leadership, data sharing and systems change, alongside details of upcoming webinars and peer learning opportunities.
The publication of Element 3 case studies, showcasing innovative projects which have strengthened whole family support across Scotland.
An example of good practice from East Ayrshire’s Grow Together service, which has already supported over 215 families through early intervention and community-based support.
Progress on the Whole Family Support through General Practice pilot, with positive early evaluation findings leading to further investment and planned expansion.
New national resources, including a Tackling Poverty Locally case study directory, the Parenting Evidence Review 2025–26, and a new Early Years Data Profile to support local planning.

Those involved with WFWF and Whole Family Support are encouraged to explore the newsletter, access the resources available through the Knowledge Hub, and take part in upcoming engagement opportunities to help shape the future of whole family support across Scotland.
