Transitions book recently published
The transition from care into adulthood is a difficult step for any young person but young people leaving care have a high risk of social exclusion, both in terms of material disadvantage and marginalisation.
In Young People's Transitions from Care to Adulthood leading academics gather together the latest international research relating to the transition of young people leaving care, outlining and comparing the range of legal and policy frameworks, welfare regimes and innovative practice across 16 countries. This book also highlights the variations that exist between different groups leaving care.
Featuring key messages for policy and practice, this resource gives academics, practitioners and policy makers valuable insights into how to encourage resilience and improve outcomes for care leavers.
