Recommendation (the committee's words)
In addition to such changes, the government should introduce a discretion to extend support past age-based cut off points in circumstances where the needs of an individual require it to ensure a smooth transition into adulthood. In particular, targeted support should be made available in relation to housing, health, education, and employment. (Recommendation, Paragraph 216)
