Provide the framework. Help young people own the journey.
CareLeap brings goals, progress, evidence and financial capability together while the Local Authority retains appropriate control of financial permissions and safeguards.
Clear choices with appropriate control.
Where financial services are made available, young people can choose savings only, a physical card only, or both. The wider CareLeap platform remains available without a financial account.
Savings
- Protected goal-based saving
- No purchases or everyday withdrawals
- Local Authority approval before release
Physical card
- Permitted shop and online use
- Permitted cash withdrawals
- Authority-set spending and withdrawal limits
Role-based access
- Authorised professionals only
- Appropriate visibility and audit trails
- Safeguarding and data-protection arrangements
Important: Any financial account and physical card are delivered by a regulated financial-services partner. Availability and arrangements depend on the Local Authority, eligibility, programme and provider requirements. CareLeap is not a bank.
Designed to complement existing responsibilities.
CareLeap is not an Appointee or Deputy, and does not replace statutory social care, safeguarding systems or existing care-management systems.
Rewards connected to the independence journey.
Achievements and agreed incentives can build a young person's Rewards Balance, redeemable with approved Partner Brands. Planned Organisation Reward Controls are designed to let Local Authorities set allowed categories, value limits and approval thresholds.
