“The foundations of Anne’s Law were developed through updated guidance and strengthened health and social care standards. It was put on a statutory footing as part of the Care Reform (Scotland) Act 2025 and these are supporting regulations.

The Care Home Services (Visits to and by Care Home Residents) (Scotland) Regulations 2026 [draft] were approved on Wednesday 4 March and will come into force on 31 March.”

A huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Collectively we have changed the law and ensured no-one has to experience what our loved ones had to.
