What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to:
* Extend aftercare provision in Scotland to ‘previously looked after’ young people who left care before their 16th birthday, on the basis of individual need;
* Extend continuing care throughout Care Experienced people’s lives, on the basis of individual need; and
* Ensure Care Experienced people are able to enjoy lifelong rights and achieve equality with non-Care Experienced people. This includes ensuring that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the findings of The Promise are fully implemented in Scotland.
