In Care and After: A Positive Perspective

This book presents a radical new perspective on the care system, its strengths and shortcomings. While much has been written in recent years about poor outcomes for young people leaving care, In Care and After challenges the dominant view that 69,000 children and young people in care in Britain are passive victims of their circumstances. Rather, it demonstrates their resilience and potential to shape their lives and seize opportunities that come their way, provided they are given the right support and encouragement.
