A young hare is always allowed outside (7)
I believe the answer is:
leveret
'a young hare' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'always allowed outside' is the wordplay.
'always' becomes 'ever' (synonyms).
'allowed' becomes 'let' (to let is to allow or permit).
'outside' indicates putting letters inside (some letters go outside others).
'ever' put within 'let' is 'LEVERET'.
'is' is the link.
(Other definitions for leveret that I've seen before include "Speedy young thing" , "hare about in spring" , "Baby hare" , "Young hare" , "Little beast" .)
