Following the postponement of the September date for the Cross Party Group on Care Leavers, we are delighted to confirm the CPG will be meeting online on Thursday 27th October at 6pm, which coincides with Care Experienced Week.

This will be a virtual meeting. Joining instructions and an agenda will be sent out nearer the time.

As a result of setting of our work plan at the previous CPG meeting, the theme of the meeting will be securing the financial well-being of care leavers. We will be hearing from care leavers, Martin Canavan from Aberlour and Dr Matt Smith from Strathclyde University alongside discussing what actions we want MSPs and others to take forward.

We're looking forward to seeing you there. Feel free to invite any colleagues or MSP contacts who may be interested in attending. We are particularly interestied in ensuring care experienced people are able to attend to share their lived experience.

Best wishes,

Staf
