Coram Voice has published the findings of a rapid review of research on care leavers’ views on the transition to adulthood. The literature review covered 80 UK studies on care leavers’ views and experiences and the report includes numerous quotes from the source studies and presents a summary of the key themes and issues that emerged in the following areas:

  • Care leavers’ experience of leaving care
  • Life after care
  • Relationships
  • Life as a care leaver
  • Responsibilities of early adulthood
  • Care leavers with additional needs
