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

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?
