22-25 year old care leavers by whether their accommodation is suitable - LA
Latest data
Published
Last updated
Local authority level data on care leavers, aged 22 to 25, by whether their accommodation is deemed to be suitable. Users should be cautious when drawing conclusions from this data. Accommodation 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.
- Accommodation suitable/not suitable figures also exclude young people who have gone abroad, been deported or their residence is not know as in these cases the suitability of the accommodation will be unknown. This means the total of care leavers in this table will be slightly lower than the total in the care leaver accommodation table. Regulation 9(2) of the Care Leavers Regulations defines what is meant by 'Suitable accommodation'. 'No information' includes young people whose accommodation is not known because either the local authority is not in touch, or the young person has refused contact or no longer requires services.
