This report explores options for young people aging out of residential care in the UK (“care leavers”) and the potential challenges and costs of effective implementation of those options.

Care leavers urge local authorities to use these principles when they make decisions about young people’s lives. The Charter for Care Leavers is designed to raise expectations, aspirations and understanding of what…
