Scottish Government response to the Care and Permanence Planning report prepared by the Scottish Children’s Reporter Administration

In response to the findings of the National Residential Child Care Initiative reports, the Scottish Government brought together the Looked After Children Strategic Implementation Group ( LACSIG) to lead and drive forward an implementation programme to improve the outcomes for looked after children and young people in Scotland. The group is comprised of principal stakeholders who, in partnership with the Scottish Government, is taking high level ownership of the implementation agenda for looked after children, including those leaving care, and the development of appropriate services to ensure their stability, wellbeing and security.
