Care Experienced Young People

Young people sometimes extra help or support; perhaps with education, finding work or developing the confidence to manage living independently.

We recognise that young people with experience of being in care can face additional difficulties to overcome, perhaps due to having moved, changed school or some other disruption in their life.

This section contains information on what is going on locally to help young people and the many achievements of Care Experienced Young People in Perth and Kinross.
