APPENDIX E
The LAC Education Forum
The LAC Education Forum was set up in late 2000 when a small group of education and social work professionals met in a Hamilton school to discuss issues surrounding the education of looked after children and young people. The purpose of this meeting was to network and share practice and experience.
Now the Forum has more than 250 members, drawn from:
- the majority of local authorities across Scotland
- the NHS
- Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education
- Scottish Institute for Residential Childcare
- Social Work Inspection Agency
- Who Cares? Scotland
- the residential school sector
- Save the Children
- Scottish Throughcare and Aftercare Forum
- The Big Step
- Strathclyde, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Abertay universities
- Scottish Government.
The Forum meets up to four times a year to discuss current issues and to share practice and resources.
The Forum is also regularly used to share new publications, policy developments, issues raised by members and consultations, and to publicise events in relation to the education of looked after children and young people.
