Family Matters, 2011, no. 89: 61-70 (Open access)Summary: In the first part of this paper, the authors examine what the existing literature tells us about experiences of preparation for leaving care in Australia and other countries. In the second
part of the paper, the authors examine the findings of three recent Australians studies of care leavers that included some analyses of preparation for leaving care. All three studies indicate that despite a broad recognition that young people leaving care require considerable support and assistance, such support is not always available to them. In the final part of the paper, the authors discuss the implications for leaving-care policy and practice. (From the paper). Record #5230
