Hi there,

I am writing to request the following information under the Freedom of Information Act.

1) What was the maximum amount the council budget allowed to be paid out in the form of a ‘leaving care grant' (sometimes also called a setting up home allowance) in the 2022-2023 financial year?

2) How many young people left the care of your council on or after their 16th birthday in the 2022-2023 financial year?

3) How many of these young people received a leaving care grant?

4) What was the average amount (both mean and median) paid out to care leavers in a leaving care grant in the 2022-2023 financial year?

5) What was the lowest amount paid out to a care leaver in a leaving care grant in the 2022-2022 financial year?

6) What was the highest amount paid out to a care leaver in a ‘leaving care grant’ in the 2022-2023 financial year?

Yours faithfully,

Nandini Naira Archer
