Care Leavers Supported Accommodation Regulation
The Department for Education and Ofsted are addressing the regulation and support of care leavers in supported accommodation, including proposals for a National Care Offer to standardize entitlements across local authorities. Key issues include financial support, housing provision, Universal Credit eligibility for under-22s, and whether care experience should be a protected characteristic.
