Closing date: 3^rd October 2024

This consultation is about ensuring that young people leaving care and moving into adulthood have the right scaffolding of support available to ensure they thrive.

This 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 Scottish Government are committed to Keeping the Promise to all children and young people by 2030. This includes making sure that all children and young people with Care Experience are given the support they need to help them move on from care into adulthood and more independent living.

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.
