Children who are on Supervision Requirements for five years or more - research
Tuesday 22 March 2011
Supervision Requirements are the main legal means by which children become looked after in Scotland. Children are placed on Supervision Requirements when compulsory measures are needed to protect them and/or address their behaviour. The numbers of children with Supervision Requirements are increasing. In 2009-10, 13,829 children had Supervision Requirements.
The Supervision Requirements of 2,150 children have lasted for five or more years. It is known that looked after children generally have poorer outcomes in life than other children.
This analysis was carried out by the Scottish Children’s Reporter Administration on data it holds. The aim of this analysis is to help our understanding of children who have had Supervision Requirements lasting for five or more years and from this clarify what more we need to know on the outcomes for these children.
