A significant amount of work has happened to improve the lives of Stirling's Care Experienced children and young people but we recognise there is still work to be done to realise the ambitions of Scotland's promise to them. 

Last year the VHT focused on key areas such as improving attendance, increasing supports available to children and young people to support mental health, raising awareness of the barriers faced by those who experience care and how being trauma informed in the way we provide support to children, young people and their families can really make a difference.  

We listened to what our children and young people had to say to influence systems and services that deliver support that is more closely linked to what they need.
