Today, 22nd October, marks the launch of the Scottish Care Leavers’ Covenant, which is being held at The Princes Trust in Glasgow. This coincides with National Care Leavers’ Week which runs over 22-30th October 2015.<\/p>\n
The Scottish Care Leavers’ Covenant is a bold and committed promise to young people who have experience of the care system: that they matter. It will support corporate parents to deliver changes in action and practice to bring improvement and consistency to the care of these young people. It provides a set of guiding principles and actions required to support the implementation of the Aftercare section of the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014.<\/p>\n
