In May 2022, The National Leaving Care Benchmarking Forum consulted with a group of care experienced young people at the Young Person’s Benchmarking Forum Event – which was held in Bristol with the option to attend the event online too. 55 Young people attended from 27 Local authorities across England.
They collected feedback using Mentimeter, an online consultation tool about the impact the cost of living rises were having on their lives and aspirations.
