Estimated reading/viewing time: 7 mins

Children in Scotland and Staf were appointed to evaluate the Home and Belonging initiative, which aimed to support young people with care experience as they transition out of care. ​ The evaluation assessed the effectiveness of the initiative in improving the wellbeing of care leavers, the impact of collaboration and co-design principles, and identified strong practices that could be adopted more widely. ​ Four case studies were developed to share stories from the initiative, highlighting the positive outcomes and experiences of young people involved in projects delivered by Impact Arts, East Lothian Council, LinkLiving, and Quarriers. ​
