Proceeding contribution from Brian Jenkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children and Young Persons Bill [Lords].
Children and Young Persons Bill [Lords]
Does my hon. Friend agree that we should seek reassurance from the Government that every local authority will ensure that children in care—especially those with educational needs—who attain the age of 18 are not automatically made to start living independently, but are allowed to remain in long-term fostering until they have completed their education or training? Should not that be a child's right, rather than a local authority option to make that provision?
