Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, which government departments have committed to providing additional support to care leavers through the Care Leavers Covenant.
The Department has embarked upon discussions with a range of organisations to promote the Care Leaver Covenant, including through a series of round table discussions with sectors, including Government departments. The formal process for signing up to the Covenant is not yet open. The commitments made by eight Government departments to improve the lives of care leavers are set out in ‘Keep on Caring’.
