Today, we take time to remember all the Care Experienced people who are no longer with us. We encourage you to do this in whatever way feels right for you. You can find out more about the day and its origins at https://t.co/degF8FoFoe

We would like to thank @humzayousaf for the respect he has shown when meeting up @StafScot with people with experience of transitioning through Scotland’s care system. They felt heard and valued by him and our hope and expectation are that his successor will do the same.
