Care Leavers: Unemployment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate her Department has made of the number of care leavers who are Not in Education, Employment or Training.
Answered by Janet Daby
The number of care leavers who are not in education, employment or training is published annually in the statistical release ‘Children looked after in England including adoptions’.
Figures on the activity of care leavers aged 17-21 years old, including those not in education, employment or training, can be found here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/permalink/33baf96c-f652-408a-d969-08dd800922cb.
Figures on the activity of care leavers aged 22-25 years old, including those not in education, employment or training, can be found here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/permalink/9213a0ea-4d47-4ebc-7d40-08dd7ece5be0. To note, information for care leavers aged 22-25 years old is only collected for those who contact their local authority and receive support.
