Kevin Kane

Mr Kane takes up the post after nearly six years as head of policy and research at YouthLink Scotland. Before that he was policy and research lead at Victim Support Scotland. He is also volunteer director and company secretary of Play Scotland.

He said: “As the incoming chief executive I am honoured and excited to join an organisation with such a proud history of advocating for children’s rights through promoting the benefits of shared parenting.

“As we embark on this new chapter together, I want to reaffirm the values that lie at the core of our mission: a child-centred approach, equality, empowerment, and respect for family diversity.

“For children, having stable and loving relationships with both parents promotes their emotional well-being, academic achievement, and social development. For parents, shared parenting cooperation reduces conflict, enabling them to work together in their child’s best interests. Our children deserve the best of both their parents.”
