Our Responsibilities to You
Like all other authorities and Councils, Perth & Kinross
Council has many responsibilities towards children and young people
who are looked after. The
Children (Scotland) Act 1995 sets out our
responsibilities.
The Act tells us that we have a duty to provide you (if you
are looked after) with support and guidance to prepare you for
the time when you are no longer looked after.
It also tells us that we have a duty to provide you with support
and guidance when you have left the care system and when you live
more independently. This support is aimed at helping you
manage all aspects of your independent life.
The Children (Scotland) Act also states we have a responsibility to
help you financially towards expenses connected with your education
or training.
