LA - Accommodation of care leavers

Not the latest data
Published
Last updated

Local authority level data on care leavers aged 17 to 21, by accommodation type (as measured on or around their birthday).

Footnotes:

1. National and regional numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10. Percentages rounded to the nearest whole number. Figures exclude young people who were looked after under an agreed series of short term placements, those who have died since leaving care, those who have returned home to parents or someone with parental responsibility for a continuous period of at least 6 months and those whose care was transferred to another local authority.

2. 'Local authority not in touch' excludes young people where activity information is known, as a third party provided it even though the local authority is not directly in touch with the young person.

3. Accommodated with parents or relatives is likely to be an under count - if a young person's former foster carer is a relative they should be recorded as accommodated with their former foster carer.

4. For some local authorities, such as Kent, the figures may be impacted by significant numbers of unaccompanied asylum seeking children.
