Written question asked by Michael Tomlinson (Conservative) on Wednesday, 27 March 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 1 April 2019. It was answered by Nadhim Zahawi (Conservative) on Tuesday, 2 April 2019 on behalf of the Department for Education.


Foster Care: Care Leavers

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether the Government plans to extend data collection for care leavers aged 22-25 under its staying put policy.

Answer

The Staying Put duty requires local authorities to support young people to continue living with their former foster carers up to age 21, where both parties want this. The government does not therefore collect Staying Put related data for care leavers aged 22-25 years.
