andrejuan Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 The care leavers are covered by the "Staying Put" agreement which is mandatory. A new duty on local authorities in England came into force on 13 May 2014, in part 5 Welfare of Children (98) of the Children and Families Act 2014. This requires local authorities in England to facilitate, monitor and support staying put arrangements for fostered young people until they reach the age of 21 So they are not in the situation the OP suggests. More could be done of course, and some slip through the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bloke Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Who is going to decide who is vulnerable and what criteria are they going to use? No idea. A heartless judge and executioner of doom perhaps, determined to ridden the country of all those pesky young people on behalf of the evil overlord queen? Or maybe the existing social and medical teams that currently determine if someone is vulnerable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe the existing social and medical teams that currently determine if someone is vulnerable? I think it's far more likely to be a housing benefit officer. Social Services and the NHS don't have the resources to be a part of that decision and there is no existing process in place like the one you describe. For example it's front line Jobcentre staff who decide if someone is vulnerable when they are considering a sanction. Did you think it went to some kind of panel of health and social care professionals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
