Agenda For Change Towards a National Covenant for Scotland’s Care Leavers

The UK Access All Areas Policy Initiative aims to improve outcomes for looked after young people and care leavers by “care proofing” policy for care leavers into adulthood. This campaign has had some degree of success in putting the issues and needs of care leavers at the heart of UK government policy considerations. A key aim is to ensure that wherever there is a discretionary power available to a public body, there should be a default bias in favour of care leavers.
