Abstract

The study examines UASC experiences across six dimensions, Health and Well-being, Legal, Social Integration, Education and Training needs, Employment, and Accommodation. The project team undertook 62 interviews (13 UASC care leavers, 9 foster carers, 1 foster carer trainer and 39 other professionals). These interviews combined with review of literature were used to identify outcomes and recommendations across the six dimensions and training needs
of foster carers which are presented in detail in the report. Priority has been given to UASC care leavers perspectives given the focus and limited length of the report. Further information from foster carers and other professionals' perspectives can be obtained by contacting the research team.
