Sounds like a brilliant idea, won’t take long for the Daily Mail to brand care leavers as scroungers though.

It truly takes a village to raise a child. I don’t know many people who were raised in care but this feels like the minimum they should get.

Excellent policy. The cost of dental care is ridiculous. By any measure care leavers are some of the most vulnerable people in society and we should try and break cycles of generational trauma and poverty.

Is it free dental care if you can’t get a NHS dentist?

Good! Until 25, most parents can keep their kids on any workplace health plans, insurance for holidays and vehicles, so giving care leavers an approximation of that care is much fairer.
