The Government's response to the #CareReview is imminent. Their plans *could* #EndTheCareCliff & improve the lives of 1000s of young people. On Become's Day 18, here's a reminder of what we need to see from @EducationGovUK becomecharity.org.uk/day-18

#Day18 of April: the cost of being a young #CareLeaver 💷⚠️ As soon as they turn 18, young people leaving care are expected to be financially independent overnight - without enough support from their legal parent, the government. #EndTheCareCliff 👉 becomecharity.org.uk/day-18

Each year, ⬆️ children in care are separated from the ppl & relationships that matter most to them. Too often due to a lack of appropriate local homes. Our new campaign Become calls for ⬆️ accountability to stop children being moved far away inappropriately #GoneTooFar

It's #Day18📢 This month, to mark the age young people are made to leave care (often before they're ready), & as the government consultation for their children's social care plan closes, we're sharing 18 steps the Govt could take to #EndTheCareCliff... becomecharity.org.uk/day-18
