The yearly Children's Handbook Scotland is a comprehensive guide to the benefits and tax credits available to children living away from their parents, including those in kinship or foster care, children in local authority care, and children in residential school, residential care, or hospital.

It covers entitlement when children live away from home, how local government payments affect carers' benefits and tax credits, and how to appeal decisions. This latest edition is an essential handbook for anybody dealing with families and children in Scotland, as it is fully referenced to legislation and caselaw and includes easy-to-use checklists and examples.
