“The Basic Income for Care Leavers in Wales pilot (‘the pilot’) was launched in July 2022. The first payments to 18-year-olds eligible for the scheme were made in August 2022 (‘Basic Income for care leavers: about the pilot’ Welsh Government, 2022). The evaluation of the scheme is now in its fourth year. This is a summary of the third annual report from the evaluation. This is the first report published since the pilot has ended and all young people have exited the scheme.”
