question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what guidance they offer to local authorities in respect of persuading children in their care to leave that care at the age of 16 or 17.
tabling member printed	The Earl of Listowel
uin	HL6610
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2014 answer text <p>The Government amended the statutory framework regarding 16- and 17-year-olds ceasing to be looked after in January 2014. The new regulation requires that where a child aged 16-or 17-year-old is looked after other than by virtue of a care order, the decision of the local authority to cease looking after that child must be approved by their director of children's services. The intention behind the Regulation is to help ensure that young people do not leave care until they are ready and properly prepared. The Department for Education will, in the summer, revise the ‘Care Planning, Placement and Case Review' statutory guidance to explain how local authorities should implement the new duty.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 09/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
