Beyond 18: The Longitudinal Study on Leaving Care is a long-term research project about the lives of young people in out-of-home care and their experiences of leaving care in Victoria. It is the first of its kind to be conducted in Victoria.
The purpose of the study is to inform government policy in supporting more effective transitions for young people from out-of-home care. In particular, it will aim to improve young people’s move towards interdependent relationships and eventual independence by:
Providing insights into the critical success factors associated with transition from out-of-home care
Proposing ways of enhancing out-of-home care
Proposing improvements in the transition from care
Proposing improvements post transition from care
