It sets out the support that will be provided to all care leavers in relation to staying in education, finding accommodation, accessing benefits, experiencing good physical and mental health and finding work. [1]<\/p> <\/p> The Department for Education will publish shortly a report on the progress we have made against the commitments set out in the strategy. This builds on a significant programme of work to improve support for care leavers, which has resulted in important changes such as the development of the Care Leaver Charter and the introduction of Junior ISAs for all children in care.<\/p> <\/p> As part of our continuing work to improve care leavers\u2019 outcomes, the Department introduced a new duty on local authorities to support \u2018staying put\u2019 arrangements and have provided funding for local authorities to support this. For the first time, this will provide for children in foster placements to receive support to remain with their foster family until age 21, where this is what both parties want.<\/p> <\/p> Similar arrangements do not currently apply to children in residential care. Further work is needed before introducing a legal duty on local authorities that would require them to extend staying put arrangements to all young people leaving residential care. We are consequently working with the sector to better understand what would be involved and have supported work through the Department\u2019s Children\u2019s Services Innovation Programme to identify how staying put arrangements might work for children in residential care.<\/p> <\/p> We will continue to drive innovation in provision for care leavers, for example through funding projects like \u2018New Belongings\u2019, which has enabled 9 local authorities to develop a range of new and innovative approaches to supporting care leavers.<\/p> <\/p>
