As you see from the guidance the period that could be covered is 16 to 25 (9 years).
P111.1 an eligible child - a young person who is 16 or 17 and who has been looked after by a UK local authority / health and social care trust for at least a period of 13 weeks since the age of 14, and who is still looked after;
P111.2 a relevant child - a young person who is 16 or 17 who has left care within the UK after their 16th birthday and before leaving care was an eligible child; or
P111.3 a former relevant child - a young person who is aged between 18 and 21 (up to their 25th birthday if they are in education or training) who, before turning 18, was either an eligible or a relevant child.

Care leaver Bursary
Created
Hi All,
We have a learner who has declared that they are a care leaver, upon checking in with the learner they advised that they left care in 2018. Is there a ruling around claims for Care leaver Bursary? the learner left care 4 years ago, so does this time frame make them exempt from claiming the bursary? They have declared that they haven't received the bursary before. I cant find anything in the funding rules that has a time frame around claiming this additional payment.
Many Thanks
Sarah
