Decision making process
A Corra Grants Advisor assessed each application for eligibility and against Scottish Government criteria. Other Advisors in the Corra team reviewed assessments and identified a longlist.
Children and young people participated in the assessment of applications from the longlist, identifying a shortlist.
Scottish Government made final decisions from this shortlist.
Why were some applications unsuccesful ?
Some applications did not demonstrate as strongly as others how the work proposed was innovative and that it would embed children’s rights into public service culture, policy and practice.
What next?
The projects supported through this Fund will end by 31 December 2024.
