Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 part 11 - continuing care: guidance

This refreshed guidance for local authorities on continuing care aims to reflect developments in policy and practice as well as providing clarity to those who provide support services by addressing implementation gaps.


17. Throughcare and Aftercare Process Flowchart

CELCIS published an easy-to-follow flowchart aimed at practitioners and young people. It's a useful guide through the various processes that are followed as a young person begins to think about supported transition from care towards more independent living and young adulthood.

It takes account of the changes introduced by the Children and Young people (Scotland) Act 2014 and is intended to help practitioners to apply good, transparent practice, and informs others about these key processes. In addition to the steps set out in the flowchart, the Welfare Assessment must be carried out at the earliest reasonably practicable opportunity before the person ceases to be looked after.
