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.
5. Provision of Continuing Care
Local authorities should develop policies that provide carers with information and guidance relating to all aspects of continuing the young person’s accommodation and support when they cease to be looked after.
Local authorities are required to provide eligible care leavers with a continuation of the same accommodation and other assistance as was being provided for the person by the authority, immediately before the person ceased to be looked after[24] unless any of the exceptions in section 26A(5) of the 1995 Act apply.
