London boroughs, NHS London region and integrated care boards (ICBs), the Mayor of London and Transport for London have collaborated on The Pan London Care Leavers Compact to support care leavers transition to adult like. The compact is hoped to increase the consistency and quality of support available.
The offer includes council tax exemption, priority housing status, rent deposit schemes, and joint working agreements between children’s services and housing teams. As well as free prescriptions and half price bus and tram travel, there will also be training and employment opportunities in healthcare.
