I thank Sally Jameson for securing this debate at the start of Care Leavers Month. The disadvantage faced by the care-experienced community is one of the greatest social justice issues of our time, and ensuring that those who grow up in the care system have a shot at a good life is a collective obligation. I agree that supported lodgings are underused and will work with Members to improve outcomes for this group. On calls for a national approach to care leavers in custody, my colleagues in the Ministry of Justice are looking into it and will give an update by the end of 2025. We need to ensure lifelong, loving relationships as part of the care system and confront the high number of early deaths among care-experienced people. The Minister acknowledged the extensive range of measures taken by the Government to address issues within children’s social care, including removing the local area connection test in social housing allocations for care leavers. The minister highlighted that corporate parenting duties have been expanded to public bodies such as the NHS and outlined commitments to expand Staying Close initiatives and disapply the intentionally homeless test for eligible care leavers. Automatic eligibility for high-level maintenance support at university was also mentioned. Furthermore, the Government pledged to reset how fostering is approached in England by doubling down on the Families First programme and supporting recruitment and retention of foster carers. The Minister expressed his commitment to ensure local authorities receive backing from the Government to make necessary changes and stated that additional spending will be provided for local authorities under pressure.
