The Looked After Children Education Forum and Learning and Teaching Scotland have responsed to Action 8 in Looked After Children and Young People: We Can and Must Do Better, which stated that a national network and information website for professionals, foster carers, residential workers, parents and looked after children and young people should be developed. The site, Looked After Children and Young People, was launched on 6 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.
