Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 March 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Finally, I will comment on new clause 3 tabled by my hon. Friend the Member for Dulwich and West Norwood (Helen Hayes). This issue came up in Committee. I spoke in support of the principle of a national care leaver offer. I am pleased to see this proposal. In Committee, I accepted and supported the intentions of the Minister to drive forward strong, cross-departmental collaboration to support care-experienced young people. I know that Ministers have listened and introduced provisions on corporate parenting. You live and learn in this place, so I figure that there is no harm in pressing Ministers again to perhaps do the same on the national care leaver offer.
