Case Study of the Month
When looked-after children grow up
What happens to looked-after children after they’ve grown up? A study undertaken by UCL researchers used the ONS Longitudinal Study to build a comprehensive picture of the health and social functioning of adults who had been looked after in childhood, comparing their outcomes to other adults in the population.
Although the adverse consequences of being looked after as a child are well recognised, as are the outcomes for children as they negotiate leaving care, evidence on outcomes beyond the early adult years is very limited.
The research was commended for the ONS Research Excellence Award 2019.
