Widening the care gap? An international comparison of care leaving in the time of Covid-19
Following COVID-19, young people who transitioned to adulthood from different types of alternative care (care leavers) experienced an exacerbation of the challenges they had before the pandemic. The purpose of this international survey was to explore the range of policy and service responses that have or have not been implemented around the world to support care leavers during COVID-19. Responses were collected from care-leaving researchers from …
Stationäre Kinder- und Jugendhilfe im internationalen Vergleich – Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten für junge Erwachsene und die Bedeutung von Care Leaver-Selbstvertretungen

Supporting transitions to adulthood for youth leaving care: Consensus based principles
The transition to adulthood for young people leaving care has become a significant subject of research over recent decades, especially given consistent findings that suggest that alumni of care are at high risk of adverse outcomes. However, there is no definitive consensus on how findings from research can best inform practice with youth in transition out of care. The aim of the present article is to provide principles that can support practice b…

Supporting the educational attainment of youth in residential care: From issues to controversies
A multinational comparison of care-leaving policy and legislation
Care-leavers – those transitioning from alternative care towards young adulthood – are widely recognized as a vulnerable population, yet child protection legislation seldom applies to them because they have reached adulthood. Despite this, little internationally comparative research on care-leaving policy and legislation has been conducted. This paper maps multinational policy and legislation and its impact on the services to care-leavers and the…
