Supporting Adult Care-Leavers: International Good Practice - 9781447313649

Growing up in care is not just a part of childhood, but can have ongoing impacts across a person's life. Organised thematically to allow comparison of different initiatives, this book considers the range of responses to adult care-leavers in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and the UK. Initiatives examined include public inquiries, acknowledgements, redress schemes, specialist support services, and access to personal records and family reunification programs. Featuring detailed case studies, this is an excellent international source book for practitioners and policy makers in social work and social care.
