Disabled Youth Transitioning from Care
Many countries across the globe have enacted leaving care policy to make provision for transition planning and aftercare support for care-leavers who face significant challenges in adulthood. However, the extent to which care-leaver policy addresses the unique needs of disabled youth leaving care is not known. This paper seeks to address this gap in knowledge by analysing care-leaver policy in four countries (United States, United Kingdom, Norway…
Disability counts
Disabled youth are over‐represented among care‐leavers transitioning into adulthood. However, the experiences and needs of disabled care‐leavers are not well understood—largely due to inconsistencies in definition and data collection practices. Applying the lens of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD, 2007), this paper examines the strengths and limitations of existing definitions and data collection p…
The development and psychometric validation of a survey to measure the subjective well-being of care leavers
Young people who age out of state care are at risk of a range of negative outcomes. In England, national data provides only five indicators of care leavers’ lives and there are no measures of how young people themselves feel about their transition to adulthood. To fill this gap a new survey to measure subjective wellbeing was co-produced with 31 care leavers. The survey was then distributed by 21 local authorities and completed by 1,804 care leav…

Being counted? Examining the prevalence of looked‐after disabled children and young people across the UK
Since the 1970s, there has been growing academic interest in children and young people living in state care and, more recently, in the lives of disabled children. However, there has been little attention on the lives of disabled children who are looked after by the state. This paper compares and critiques what is known about the numbers of disabled children who are looked after in E ngland, N orthern I reland, S cotland and W ales. We discuss the…
Disabled Foster Children and Contacts with Their Birth Families
Researchers from the University of York have been working with seven local authorities in England on a major programme of foster care research (Sinclair et al, 2004, 2005a, 2005b). Part of this work included a three-year longitudinal study of 596 foster children. Claire Baker used data from this study to look specifically at the experiences of disabled foster children and here discusses findings in relation to their contact with birth families. E…
Disabled Children's Experience of Permanency in the Looked After System
Research with seven local authorities in England provided data on the ‘care careers’ of 596 foster-children over three years (Sinclair et al., 2005). One part of this study looked at the experiences of disabled foster-children compared to non-disabled foster-children. The research aimed to identify if there were any particular difficulties in pursuing permanency for disabled looked after children. This article introduces a concept developed by th…
