Leaving Care

Throughcare and Aftercare in Scotland

By: Mike Stein,Jo Dixon

How can social workers and agencies best support young people as they make the transition from care to independent living? This authoritative study investigates the successes and failures of care services for young people, identifying factors that hinder effective transition from care and the types of support that help to promote positive life choices. Analysing current policy and drawing on the findings of past research, the authors explore the experiences of young people leaving the care of three very different Scottish local authorities to demonstrate how support works in practice. They address the impact of throughcare and aftercare services, and argue for a more gradual transition towards independence, combined with more consistent and ongoing support after young people leave care. This book draws on the Scottish context to offer valuable lessons that are important reading for all students and practitioners in the fields of social care and social policy, and other professionals interested in the development of childcare practice.

Care Or Control?

Foster Care for Young People on Remand

By: Jo Lipscombe

Offending by children is a politically contentious issue attracting considerable public concern and controversy. This important new study challenges negative attitudes towards young people who have been charged with committing an offence, as well as the impact of these attitudes on criminal justice policy. It considers the processes by which young people become involved in offending behaviour, how this behaviour can be exacerbated by the penal system and how community interventions such as remand foster care can have a positive impact on behaviour and self-esteem.
