The Scottish Government’s Whole Family Wellbeing Funding Programme was established with the purpose of driving the system change required at local level, principally through Children’s Service Planning Partnerships (CSPPs), to deliver holistic family support so that families get the right support, at the right time, for as long as they need. Recognising the varying circumstances in local areas, the Programme does not seek to mandate a specific delivery model – an approach which has been welcomed by delivery partners.

• Delivery of the WFWF Programme involves a variety of collaborative work with CSPPs – of which local authorities are statutory members – including Providing direct funding to Children's Services Planning Partnerships to build local service capacity for change and transform family support services. Each CSPP is responsible deciding how to spend their allocation, based on a local assessment of need. Investing in a package of activity to support the development and sharing of learning across CSPPs and beyond, including the creation of the the Learning into Action Network and Knowledge Hub and dedicated collaborative partnerships with specific CSPP areas.
• Development of the Supporting Families - A National Self-Assessment Toolkit for Change (in collaboration with stakeholders) to support consistent and structured planning discussions about the design and delivery of holistic family support services at the local level.
