🔉We welcome the government’s announcement: Care leavers will receive free prescriptions, NHS dental care, eye checks up to age 25.

‼️But delivery matters: cuts, staff shortages, poor signposting limit, impact. Awareness and practical access are essential for real change.‼️

👉We support @barnardos call for a National Care Offer: A legal obligation for the Secretary of State to set minimum standards of support for care leavers - so entitlements don’t depend on postcode.

[Together Trust @TogetherTrust]

We’re calling for a clear, timebound plan to phase-out unregistered homes for children in care, and for a guarantee that every child in care receives regulated care up to at least age 18.

🆘 Hundreds of children in care in England are still being placed in illegal settings.

@ChildrensComm warns many spend months - and in some cases years - in unregistered, placements.

The Government is planning to grant Ofsted new powers to fine providers operating unregistered children's homes under the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. But this is NOT enough.
