Supporting unaccompanied asylum‐seeking young people: The experience of foster care
Although research on the experiences of unaccompanied asylum‐seeking young people in the UK has grown steadily in recent years, their experience of fostering and of the role played by foster carers in helping their adjustment have been neglected. This paper reports findings from the first UK study into these experiences, describing issues arising from initial assessment and preparation for fostering and the ways in which young people and foster c…
In-home support or out of home care? Thresholds for intervention with abused and neglected children
Mind-mindedness in parents of looked-after children
The studies reported here aimed to test the proposal that mind-mindedness is a quality of personal relationships by assessing mind-mindedness in caregiver-child dyads in which the relationship has not spanned the child's life or in which the relationship has been judged dysfunctional. Studies 1 and 2 investigated differences in mind-mindedness between adoptive parents (ns = 89, 36) and biological parents from the general population (ns = 54, 114)…

The Ties that Bind: Support from Birth Families and Substitute Families for Young People Leaving Care
This paper draws on findings from a study of outcomes for young people leaving care funded by the Department for Education and Skills. It explores the informal support networks available to a sample of 106 young people over a period of 12–15 months after leaving care. It examines patterns of contact with birth families and caregivers, the support that emanated from these links and the strategies of leaving care professionals to strengthen these c…
The potential of secondary data sources to explore the life chances of looked‐after children in the care system in the UK
Several studies have used secondary data sources in order to learn about outcomes for adults who have been in contact with the care system in childhood. This article discusses two of the large‐scale longitudinal datasets in the UK that are available to researchers and which include information on adults who were looked after in childhood: The National Child Developmental Study (NCDS) and The British Cohort Study (BCS70). These databases are consi…
Making a home, finding a job: Investigating early housing and employment outcomes for young people leaving care
This paper presents findings from a new study of outcomes for young people leaving care funded by the Department for Education and Skills. It reports findings for a sample of 106 young people in relation to progress made in housing and employment some 12–15 months after leaving care. The generally poor employment outcomes of care leavers are acknowledged, but ingredients that make for success are also highlighted, including the value of settled c…
Going missing from residential and foster care: Linking biographies and contexts
The findings discussed here derive from a Department of Health funded study into young people who go missing from foster and residential placements. We found going missing to be a widespread phenomenon especially, though not exclusively, in residential care. The risks encountered by young people included involvement in offending, substance misuse, rough sleeping and sexual exploitation, including prostitution. However, patterns of going missing w…
Progress for Care Leavers: Young People Leaving Care
Developing Leaving Care Services Tapping the Potential of Foster Carers
This paper by Jim Wade draws on the findings of a four-year study of specialist leaving care services, funded by the Department of Health. It situates moving on from substitute care or accommodation in the context of broader youth transitions to adulthood. Three key dimensions of transition for a sample of care leavers are discussed: the timing and nature of their moving on; their early education and employment careers; and their ability to devel…
