The Act, alongside other linked initiatives, represents a welcome and much needed step forward in helping young people leaving care to improve their life chances. It has had many noteworthy gains and achievements but there remains considerable variation across and between local authorities in the extent to which the Act is being implemented and funded. Positive changes can be seen in areas of assessment and planning, education and training, accommodation and finances. However continuing problems, especially in areas of resources, health, a very low priority, and service strategies for young people with a disability, were also highlighted by the research.
