The Staying Put pilot, which began in 11 local authorities in July 2008, is targeted at young people who have established relationships with foster carers and offers this group the opportunity to remain with their carers until they reach 21. The evaluation aims to assess the extent to which Staying Put meets the objectives and to ascertain the costs and benefits of the pilot compared to standard leaving care provision and that offered under Right2BCared 4.
