The annual Children’s Handbook Scotland provides a complete guide to the benefits and tax credits that apply when children are living away from their parents, including children in kinship or foster care, children looked after by the local authority, and children at residential school, in residential care or in hospital.
It covers entitlement when children are living away from home, how local authority payments affect carers’ benefits and tax credits, and how to challenge decisions. Fully referenced to legislation and caselaw, and with easy-to-use checklists and examples, this latest edition remains an essential guide for anyone working with families and children in Scotland.
