You have the right to a relationship with your brothers and sisters. If it\u2019s not possible for you to live together, social work should arrange for you to spend time together, so long as it is safe and what you and your brother\/sister want.<\/p>\n

You can ask to be involved in decisions about your brothers and sisters. Any decisions that are made about spending time with your brother or sister should always be about what is best for your brother or sister.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If a Children\u2019s Hearing or Court is going to be making a decision about your brother or sister, you can ask to be involved in this decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are not happy with a decision that has been made about your brother or sister, you might be able to challenge this. A lawyer can give you more information about this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are brought into care, social work must look after you. An important part of looking after you is making sure your rights are respected.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

New laws for sisters and brothers apply in Scotland from 26 July 2021. The law says:<\/p>\n

If you and your brother\/sister are in care, you should be able to live together with the same carer or in the same home (if that\u2019s safe). If your situation means it would be better for your safety and welfare to live near to each other than together, you should be able to do that.<\/p>\n

Your local authority must support you to see your brothers and sisters regularly (if that\u2019s safe).<\/p>\n

Before your local authority makes any decisions about your brother or sister, you should be asked what you think and your views should be taken into account.<\/p>\n

Your Children\u2019s Hearings must always consider what arrangements are needed so you can see you sister\/brother(s) if you\u2019re not living with them.<\/p>\n

You should be able to take part in your brother\/sister\u2019s Children\u2019s Hearing when the panel is making decisions that will affect you seeing each other. You can ask a lawyer or an advocacy worker for help with this.<\/p>\n

It is important to know that these rights for brothers and sisters are not only for people with the same parent(s) \u2013 they are also for people who have lived together (for example with the same foster carers) and feel just like siblings. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
