Since its introduction in 2019, the uptake of ETRR by rangatahi has been lower than expected. The reasons for this are not well investigated or understood. So why do rangatahi not engage in ETRR? We have sought to answer this question by conducting research with rangatahi at various stages of transition from care to adulthood. We believe that the uptake of ETRR must be considered within the context in which it is accessed, and for that reason we have approached the question of ETRR uptake within the broader context of transition from care to adulthood. This report is presented in plain language and available in accessible formats so it can be read and understood by as many people as possible. The term 'rangatahi atawhai', meaning 'care experienced young person' is used throughout this report. (From the report). Record@7982
