The most recent study carried out by the government in January 2022 found that
"More than a third of care leavers felt that they left care too early. This was
often because the move out of care happened abruptly and they were not ready for
all the sudden changes. Of those who did feel that they left care at the right
time, not all felt they had the required skills to live more independently. Many
care leavers told us that they were not taught essential skills, such as how to
shop, cook or manage money."
