Care Leavers: Advisory Services
(asked on 7th June 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many care leavers up to the age of 25 have a personal adviser.
This question was answered on 15th June 2018
The information requested is not held centrally.
Prior to changes introduced through the Children and Social Work Act, local authorities were required to allocate a personal adviser to support all care leavers to age 21, which extended to age 25 if the care leaver was in education or training. Since 1 April 2018, local authorities have been required to offer personal adviser support to all care leavers to age 25.
