This authoritative study investigates the experiences of young people as they move on from care towards independent living. Highlighting the successes and failures of care services for young people, Leaving Care identifies the specific factors that hinder successful transition from care and the types of support that help to promote positive life choices. Analysing current policy and the findings of past research, the authors focus on case studies of three local authorities to demonstrate how support for young people leaving care works in practice. They address the impact of throughcare and aftercare services, and argue for a more gradual transition towards independence, combined with more consistent and ongoing support after young people leave care. This book draws valuable lessons from the Scottish context which will prove an enlightening read for any student and practitioner in the fields of social care and social policy, and for any professional with an interest in the development of childcare practice.

Industry Reviews

As with Mike Stein's other work, this is a rigorous, well-written and accessible study that includes important points for policy and practice. I could see no noticeable weaknesses. Young people's own views are well represented and it makes a valuable contribution to services in Scotland and elsewhere.
