There is a number of legislation that addresses the needs of young people leaving institutions with provisions in place to help them with life transitions. The Children and Young Persons Act 2008 focuses on older young people and those leaving residential care. Provide the legislative support needed to improve the healthcare system in England. Ensure stability and continuity in every aspect of a child's care. This act proposes to reform the regulatory framework of the care system by involving children and young people as much as possible in the decision-making process, giving them a voice so that they are listened to. Resulting in improved standards of care. Its main objectives are to improve the supply of social workers, functions in relation to young people, the duties of local authorities, encourage higher education or training, improve standards of care. Give young people an Independent Review Officer (IRO) to ensure they are placed in the right accommodation after care and also provide them with a personal advisor so they can plan their future and that any goals set are possible and achieved by increasing transparency of care planning. These objectives ensure that young people are placed in the most appropriate placement with ongoing support to ensure their needs are met. The Children and Young People's Act 2008 introduced a number of provisions which ensure that young people up to the age of 18 are not forced to leave care before they are ready. Each young person would be assigned a personal advisor and their entitlement would extend up to the age of 25, for those who remain in education. This therefore improves their educational experience and encourages the young people in care to continue their studies or training. Reception settings promote multi-agency working to give children the best possible start in life. Collaborate with organizations such as schools, hospitals, police and other care settings. In more recent times, the Children and Families Bill (2013) was created which aims to reform the system of adoptions and children in foster care. It is hoped that this can work alongside the Children and Young Persons Act 2008 and fill any gaps. In conclusion, children leaving institutions should be safe, healthy and provided with support, equal opportunities and make a positive contribution to society. Services, resources and the process of leaving care have improved along with post-care support thanks to the Children and Young Persons Act 2008. However, there is still widespread abuse and care failures within the care system..
