The term Staying Put is used in accordance with Department for Education definitions to describe the arrangements made where a young person who has been Looked After, immediately prior to their eighteenth birthday (as an eligible child), continues to live with their former foster carers without a break in those arrangements.

Once a young person has reached the age of eighteen the legal basis on which they reside in their former foster home changes from foster child to adult member of the household. The associated change for the carer is from foster carer to landlord. When carrying out an assessment of an Eligible child's needs, the local authority must determine whether it would be appropriate to provide advice, assistance and support to facilitate a Staying Put arrangement. Where they determine that it would be appropriate, and where the child and the local authority foster parent wish to make a Staying Put arrangement, then the local authority must provide such advice, assistance and support to facilitate a Staying Put arrangement.
