It is the first research that gives an overall picture of the scale and extent of the problem and suggests strategies for responding to the needs of this very vulnerable group of young people. The research was commissioned by the Aberlour Child Care Trust and the Children's Society and was carried out in partnership with the University of York.

Author: Malloch, Margaret Title: A Scoping Study of Services for Young Runaways Summary: This study was undertaken to examine responses to young people in Scotland. The aim of the study is to examine the provision of services to young runaways by local authorities and Area Child Protection Committees. 1 in 9, The Scottish Coalition for Young Runaways identified the objectives of the study as being to: explore the level of awareness of young runaways among local authorities and to review the extent to which they have identified young runaways in their Children’s Services Plans; establish how many local authorities have (a) adopted protocols for responding to runaways in line with the Executive Guidance and (b) to identify how commissioners, managers and providers are utilising these protocols; consider the extent to which protocols, where they exist, meet their objectives and in particular, address the needs of the young people; identify what action has been taken to provide services for young runaways; and explore any existing plans to identify gaps and develop services. who run away from home or substitute care. The study, commissioned by 1 in 9, The Scottish Coalition for Young Runaways, originated from concerns about the experiences of young people who run away or are forced to leave where they live and aimed to find out more about the responses currently in place to address the needs of these young people. While this study will focus specifically on the Scottish context, links have been established between 1 in 9, The Scottish Coalition for Young Runaways and the Children’s Society, who have recently conducted a national survey of services for children who run away and go missing in England and Wales (not in Scotland). It is expected that there will be future opportunities for dialogue and information sharing on the existence and development of services across the UK.
