'Moving on' from care into adulthood
The Scottish Government have launched a consultation to look at how best to make sure that all children and young people with care experience are given the support they need to help them move on from care into adulthood and more independent living.
This consultation is about ensuring that young people leaving care and moving into adulthood have the right scaffolding of support available to ensure they thrive.
​
The consultation is looking at:
-
the practice already happening.
-
what is missing in our scaffolding of support for young people leaving care.
-
the potential solutions and challenges facing delivery partners and young people leaving care.
-
care delivery.
​
If you'd like us to help you respond to this / or collate your views and compile your response for you, please get in touch.

Does your organistion depend on the Housing Regaultor in some capacity? Is it working well? Are there improvements. There's a call to hear about the following:
​
-
Is the SHR effectively performing its duty to safeguard and promote the interest of tenants, people who are (or may become) homeless, factored owners and gypsy travellers?
-
How effectively is the SHR carrying out its functions to monitor, assess and report on social landlords performance and RSLs financial well being and standards of governance?
-
Does the SHR have sufficient intervention powers and are these powers being used to the best effect?
-
How effective is the SHR’s engagement with tenants and other service users?
-
Does the SHR retain a high level of trust from its stakeholders?
-
In the context of a housing emergency, is there more that the SHR could be doing to help social landlords respond to the challenges it presents and ensure the availability of high quality social housing?
Do you have solutions to how this should work. Have you case studies to show how it is / isn't working? Do you wish to repsond to the current consultation looking at this? If so, and you need our help, please get in touch.
​​
With a National Housing Emergency declared, and a further 12 local authorities declaring local emergencis, Scotland is at a crucial point in terms of housing and homelessness.
​
The Housing (Scotland) Bill takes a more preventative approach in the proposed legislation. Does it do what you think it should? Have you solutions to put forward? What are your thoughts on the new 'Ask & Act' model, for example.
​
The stage 1 report has just been published. Do you wish to respond to this? Have you any suggested amendments? Or would you like help in knowing what has happened with the Bill to date.
