<p>The cross-government care leaver strategy ‘Keep on Caring’ was published in July
2016. This confirmed that funding for Staying Put would continue to be paid to local
authorities until the end of the Spending Review period. It also confirmed that the
funding would be up-rated by 2% each year to take inflation into account. The amount
of funding is therefore £23.3 million for the period 2018 to 2019 and £23.77 million
for the period 2019 to 2020. Funding beyond March 2020 will be subject to the outcome
of the next Spending Review.</p>
