Care Leaver Offer has introduced a new comparison tool which allows local authorities to log in and update their offers while care leavers can find out about the services they are entitled to in their area.

The tool has been developed pro-bono by social care digital solutions organisation focusgov.

Simon Newing, managing director of focusgov said: “I think this is a great use of tech that allows both young people and local authorities to quickly compare what each council offer their care experienced young people.

“Innovation like this can help justify change and better outcomes. Our own experience in working extensively with young people is that digital tools like the Care Leaver Offer website, the Compare Councils tool and our own Care Leavers App are vital for engagement.
