Abstract
The chapter authors describe Scotland as at a tipping point for change with its residential care provision. They detail recent legislative initiatives and an independent care review. Renewed emphasis on the critical importance of relationships and youth rights is also noted. The chapter concludes with the matrix used throughout this volume, which includes the current policy context, key trends and initiatives, characteristics of children and youth served, preparation of residential care personnel, promising programmatic innovations, and present strengths and challenges. Scotland has a relatively low rate of utilization of residential child and youth care among all forms of out-of-home care.
