Approximately 1,000 young people leave care each year from a range of care settings, meaning that there are approximately 3,000 care leavers aged 16 \u2013 19 and 9,000 aged 16 \u2013 25 currently living in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.iriss.org.uk\/relationships-matter\/files\/2014\/09\/Still-caring-briefing-final.pdf\">This briefing paper<\/a>\u00a0outlines the legal, policy and practice positions for working with care leavers before going on to situate the importance of lived experiences of leaving care by young people and adult care leavers.
