Abstract

This chapter will begin by considering what it means to be a ‘looked after’ child or young person. Legislative and policy developments will be outlined from the wide ranging impact of the Kilbrandon Report (1964) to the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. The development of services and policy for and practice with looked after children will be outlined and contextualised within current Scottish Government strategy. Outcomes for looked after children will be explored via an analysis of the impact of those policies and implications for current and future practice will be identified.
