Pathways Practice

Pathways

To support the implementation of the Regulations and Guidance in Scotland, the Scottish Executive commissioned work to develop a framework for throughcare & aftercare assessment, planning and reviewing . The Scottish Throughcare & Aftercare Forum and Barnardos Scotland developed the new Pathways framework, following consultation across Scotland, with practitioners, young people's focus groups and the project's Reference Group.

The Pathways materials for throughcare & aftercare assessment, planning and reviewing can be downloaded from useful resources at the bottom of the page. Included are sections on seeking young people's pathway views and the framework for completing pathways assessments, pathway plans and for reviewing progress.

The Pathways Handbook is aimed at guiding those who will support young people through the process. It gives useful suggestions for getting the post out of using Pathways with young people as part of their on-going throughcare & aftercare support.
