It brings together findings from:
- A Freedom of Information (FOI) request to local authorities.
- Learning on disability from the Bright Spots Programme, including survey answers from over 8,000 young people in and leaving care.
- Workshops with young people and leaving care professionals.
This report provides an important new analysis of the numbers of children and young people in and leaving care living with a disability or long-term health condition, and the disparity between the support needs and those recognised or supported by local authorities.
