This article presents outcomes for persons who have been supported by child welfare services (CWS) in Norway. This include persons who were placed in out-of-home care as well as persons who only received in-home support measures (i.e. not removed from the family home). Annual outcome-data was extracted from Norwegian population-based registers covering two decades for all persons receiving CWS in-home support and/or out-of-home care measures as well as for a comparison group of persons without any contact with CWS. This article presents outcomes related to upper secondary school, employment, financial assistance, and health-related benefits according different CWS supports. While the findings are consistent with previous research which highlight poor outcomes among persons who have been supported by CWS, this study provide a more nuanced account for upper secondary education, employment, health related benefits, and financial assistance for Norwegian CWS recipients. Being placed in residential care was a predictor for poorer outcomes. Conversely, being female and parents' completion of upper secondary education were mitigating factors for some outcome variables. In broad terms, the gap in outcomes widened as persons were older (i.e. over time), chiefly as persons in the comparison group improved their outcomes. Further research into these nuances is warranted
