Improving the life chance of Looked After Children and care leavers

The Scottish Government is committed to ensuring that all looked after children and care leavers get the support they need to become healthy, confident and responsible members of the community. We are working with our partners in local government and the voluntary sector to make sure we are all better corporate parents, keeping the individual at the centre of planning processes and developing services tailored to their needs and aspirations.
