Supporting young people leaving care

The Education Secretary has announced support programmes backed by £19 million of new funding to improve the life chances of vulnerable young people leaving care. 
  • Young people leaving care face enormous barriers in their lives as they move towards independence.
  • We have a responsibility to provide them with a greater sense of stability and purpose in adulthood.
  • We will use this new funding to ensure that care leavers have stable homes, are supported to live independently, and access further education. 
  • Alongside this £19 million package, we will deliver 1,000 internships for care leavers to help them secure long term, quality jobs. 
  • This will mean young people leaving care will have the best opportunities in life – the security of a stable home, a quality job and the independence they deserve.
