The Promise
Don-Innes, Natalie SNP Renfrewshire North and West Watch on SPTV

We continue to invest across the board to support improved outcomes for care-experienced children and young people, which includes providing more than £80 million from the care-experienced children and young people fund. There has been an increase in further education that has led the number of people accessing the care-experienced students bursary to more than double since 2019-20. From April 2026, care leavers will receive a new £2,000 care leavers payment, which will help young people to begin adulthood with much greater security. All that is on top of the Children (Care, Care Experience and Services Planning) (Scotland) Bill, which will soon have its stage 3 proceedings in the Parliament.
