The creators of the Care Leaver Local Offer website say it is the first comparison site showing what English councils are doing for care leavers.
They hope that compiling the information in one place will identify gaps in support and encourage councils to improve their offer for care leavers in health and wellbeing, relationship stability, education and training, employment, accommodation and civic participation.
The website enables users to search information about 332 English authorities, including district councils, and by region.
Search results show whether a council’s local offer is in accordance with section 2 of the Children and Social Work Act 2017, where it is available to view and if care leavers were involved in its production. There are also contact details listed for the person responsible for the local offer.
