22-25 year old care leavers activity - LA
Latest data
Published
Last updated
Local authority level data on care leavers, aged 22 to 25, by activity (as measured at their latest contact). Users should be cautious when drawing conclusions from this data. Activity information is only for those young people who contacted the LA and requested and received support and so for older care leavers the cohort may be small. For some local authorities, the figures may be impacted by significant numbers of unaccompanied asylum seeking children.

Footnotes
- Numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10. Percentages rounded to the nearest whole number. Figures in some tables may be suppressed, denoted by a 'c', percentages <0.5% are denoted by a 'k'. 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. Figures for the number of care leavers who have died each year can be found in the methodology document.
- '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.
- Hampshire local authority reported some data quality issues with their care leaver data due to a new record management system in 2024, alternative methods are being used within the authority to provide assurance of performance and outcomes.
