Enhancing outcomes for young people in out-of-home care who self-place

该项目旨在加强居家外照料的年轻人的安全和福祉，这些年轻人离开正规安置地点，留在未经批准的地点。其意义在于与这群年轻人一起发展关于他们的需求的新知识，以及形成对这些需求的有效反应的因素。预期成果包括制订政策和做法，以减少年轻人离开核定安置地点的驱动因素，并解决年轻人在未经核准的地点停留时的支助和保护需求。其好处包括使年轻人更好地在社会和经济上融入家庭外照料，并减少与安置问题有关的保健和司法系统的社会经济负担。

This project aims to enhance the safety and well-being of young people in out-of-home care who leave formal placements to stay in unapproved locations. The significance lies in the development of new knowledge with this group of young people about their needs and of factors shaping effective responses to them. Expected outcomes include the generation of policies and practices to reduce the drivers of young people leaving approved placements and to address the support and protective needs of young people when staying in unapproved locations. The benefits include improved social and economic inclusion of young people in out-of-home care and reduced socio-economic burdens on health and justice systems associated with placement breakdown.
