To ask the Scottish Government what information it currently holds regarding the need for a review of the legislative landscape around care experienced people, and whether it will publish this information.
In line with the conclusions of the Independent Care Review, The Promise Scotland have published various reports and route-maps outlining the case for a consolidation of the legislative landscape of Scotland’s children’s services.
These publications are all available to read on the Promise Scotland’s website: https://thepromise.scot/
These reports note that this is a starting point, and further consideration of the broader legislative landscape will be required.
When published, the findings of the Independent Review of Scotland’s Legislative Framework for Children’s Care will empower the Scottish Government to make an evidence-based, well-informed decision at a later date as to if the legislative framework would benefit from being amended and, if so, how this can be best achieved.
