Looked After Children and Young People: We Can and Must Do BetterLooked After Children and Young People Website
Action 8 in Looked After Children and Young People: We Can and Must Do Better states that a national network and information website for professionals, foster carers, residential workers, parents and looked after children and young people will be developed.
In partnership with the Looked After Children Education Forum and Learning and Teaching Scotland, the Website Working Group has completed this work in that the site was launched on the 6th May 2008 by Adam Ingram, Minister for Children and Early Years, at a Corporate Parent event in East Lothian.
The aim of the website is to support improved outcomes for all looked after children, young people and care leavers through the provision of information, useful resources and networking opportunities to those who support them and others who have an interest in this area- including children and young people as well as parents and carers.
You are invited to browse the site at
www.ltscotland.org.uk/lookedafterchildren
Whilst the site is now live there are areas which are still undergoing development. Your comments and suggestions for improvement of the site are welcome and you are invited to complete the comments box on the home page of the site with your feedback.
The site also has a discussion forum area which is open to anyone with an interest in supporting looked after children, young people and care leavers. It provides a forum for networking, discussion and sharing practice. If you are interested in registering please follow the links on the home page.
