Support for care leavers and the impact of the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000 are analysed in a new policy report. The study calls for: more resources to go into services to support the most vulnerable young people; more and higher quality accommodation for care leavers; and a greater focus on health for care leavers, particularly mental health and teenage pregnancy issues. The report is published by Action on Aftercare Consortium. Members include NCH, and many other charities and local authority organisations. The consortium promotes the best interests of care leavers.
