Supporting Adult Care-Leavers: International Good Practice

For people who grow up within a system of foster or protective care, crossing into adulthood and leaving that structure can be difficult, and the effects of their upbringing can be felt through the rest of their lives. This book offers an overview of the different approaches taken by the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland to supporting emerging adults who are leaving care systems. Its close analyses and wealth of detail will make it valuable for practitioners and policy makers alike.
