Support decline linked to care leaver deaths

A government-commissioned review has found that over 100 care leavers in England died in 2025, with death rates among this group three to four times higher than the general population and female care leavers potentially experiencing suicide rates 15 times higher. The report highlights a significant drop-off in support services at age 18, leaving many young people isolated and vulnerable during critical transitions to independence. Experts call for reforms, including extended support up to age 25, better-trained staff, and strengthened community connections to prevent such tragic outcomes.
