The Scottish Government has launched a consultation focusing on the support for care experienced young people when they become adults as part of their commitment to Keeping the Promise to all children and young people by 2030.
This consultation will build on the existing evidence base and delve deeper to uncover and understand:
- The good practice already happening and having a positive impact on young people leaving care
- What is missing in our scaffolding of support for young people leaving care
- The potential solutions to the issues and challenges facing delivery partners and young people leaving care
- The best way to deliver the required changes, as highlighted in The Promise
The consultation is open to all members of the public. They are particularly keen to hear from those who have care experience, are a kinship or foster carer, are the birth family of a young person with care experience, or those who support young people with care experience professionally or otherwise during this time of transition in their lives.
This call for views closes on Thursday 3 October 2024.
