Care Leavers (UK)

Care leavers in the UK are individuals who have left foster care, children's homes, or residential youth facilities after reaching the age of 18. These young adults often face challenges such as finding stable housing, employment, and personal support but are supported by specialized services to help them transition to independence. The government and organizations provide guidance, financial aid, and ongoing assistance to ensure they can develop life skills, secure housing, and achieve stability. The aim is to promote their well-being and enable successful, independent living beyond their time in care.
