Out of school care in Scotland

The Scottish Government recognise that good quality, accessible out of school care is important for many families. It gives children opportunities to play, make friends, and build confidence and it can enable parents to take up work, training or study with the knowledge that their children are being cared for.

We have published a draft framework on Out of School Care which sets out what we know about the sector in Scotland and asks questions about what the Scottish Government can do to ensure that out of school care better meets the needs of children and families. You can find  the draft framework and respond to each of the questions online here
