Fairer Shetland (2023)

We will continue to invest in the Anchor Early Action Project to help to make positive changes to the lives of families in Shetland who are struggling.

Shetland’s allocation of Whole Family Wellbeing funding is being used to more fully embed Anchor for Families (a project that aims to help to make positive changes to the lives of families in Shetland who are struggling) ensuring that preventative family support can be available across all of Shetland's schools.  The Anchor for Families team are now fully staffed and embedded across schools.  We will continue to monitor demand for the service, and consider further developments in the context of evaluating our wider family support services.
