Care Experienced Children and Young People Fund: national operational guidance 2022
National operational guidance for care experienced children school attainment funding 2022 to 2023.
What is CECYP Funding?
The Care Experienced Children and Young People Fund is a targeted resource provided to local authorities to support care experienced children and young people from birth to the age of 26. The funding is provided to local authorities and aims to improve the educational outcomes for care experienced children and young people, supported by the strategic goals of The Promise and the Scottish Attainment Challenge.
In November 2021, the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills set out plans for a refreshed Scottish Attainment Challenge from April 2022. The mission of this refreshed Challenge is:
to use education to improve outcomes for children and young people impacted by poverty, with a focus on tackling the poverty-related attainment gap.
This national operational guidance is intended to help local authorities determine how to invest this funding in ways which could improve educational outcomes for care experienced children and young people, supported by the strategic aims of The Promise and the Scottish Attainment Challenge.
