In January 2007, the Scottish Government published 'Looked-After Children and Young People: we can and must do better'. The report highlighted the need to improve the learning and development for everyone who works with Scotland's looked-after children and care leavers.

The working group identified five key themes:

• Working together
• Becoming effective life-long learners
• Developing into successful and responsible adults
• Being emotionally, mentally and physically healthy
• Feeling safe and nurtured in a home setting
