‘Staying Put’: Arrangements for Care Leavers Aged 18 and above to Stay on with their Former Foster Carers, Department of Education, DWP and HMRC Guidance
ОглавлениеThe above Guidance was published by the Department of Education in 2013 (HM Government, 2013a). The Guidance states that the intention of ‘Staying Put’ is:
To ensure young people can remain with their former foster carers until they are prepared for adulthood, can experience a transition akin to their peers, avoid social exclusion and be more likely to avert a subsequent housing and tenancy breakdown.
(HM Government, 2013a, p4)
This Guidance sets out the necessary mechanisms required to enable this staged transition to happen for young people after the age of 18 years who have been foster children.
