Who Cares? Scotland is
the consumer voice for children and young
people who are looked after and accommodated
in Scotland.
The ethos of the organisation, maintained
throughout its history, is that young people
are central to all our work.
To provide an advocacy service
throughout Scotland, accessible by all young people with
experience of being looked after in public care.
To provide information to them about
their rights and responsibilities.
To enable these young people to come
together to identify issues of importance to them and to
campaign for improved policy and practice.
To ensure that their opinions are
included in all consultations and discussions which
affect their lives.
Since it was formed the organisation has
been involved in campaigning and promoting the views and
experiences of young people at a local and national level.
Young people form half of the membership of the Board of
Directors, including the position of Chair and Vice-Chair.
