The question

To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of whether the £2,000 Care Leaver Payment is sufficient to meet the costs associated with leaving care and establishing an independent household, and, in light of the financial hardship identified in the recent CELCIS and Coram Voice report, Your Life Beyond Care, whether it plans to review the value of the payment.

The answer

Awaiting answer, due 25 Nov 2026. Lodged 11 Nov 2026.
