Children & Young People's Rights
Leaving Care
Welcome to the SCCYP leaving care page. We have developed this section to give you more direct information about leaving care and your rights. If you have seen our leaflet you will notice that we are urging you to know your rights and think more about leaving care. If you haven't seen the leaflet then don't worry - click on the link above and print it off.
We hope the website links and information we have included will help you get the answers to any questions you might have about your situation and, in particular, leaving care. The information on these links varies. Some websites are general and others more specific.
Please note that the information on the leaving care pages is a general guide to law and policy. Specific advice should be taken about individual cases. This is the law in March 2007 and laws may change in the future.
