The Education Committee has launched a survey that asks care leavers of all ages about the help they received whilst in care and the types of placements they experienced, such as foster care, kinship, residential or adoption.
Questions are also designed to help MPs learn about the support that young people receive around their mental wellbeing and any disabilities.
The availability of services supporting care leavers to manage their finances or access work and education will be looked at by the committee who are asking whether “that support was helpful or how it could be improved”.
The anonymous survey will form part of the committee’s ongoing inquiry into children’s social care.
