Agenda for change - Scottish care leavers covenant
Work has begun to develop a Scottish Care Leavers Covenant with buy in from a wide range of partners across Scotland.
We would like all corporate parents to endorse and support the Covenant which has two main aims:
- Care-proofing of policy
- Establish a positive default bias
There is no single action to provide the necessary improvements required but a range of inter-related actions which, if implemented, will create the environment for care-experienced young adults to benefit from increased levels of support and opportunity.
Partners, so far, include Who Cares? Scotland, Barnardo’s Scotland, Life Changes Trust, Quarriers, Centre for Youth and Criminal Justice, IRISS, Scottish Throughcare and Aftercare Forum and, of course, us.
We've produced a briefing with all the info you need:
