'My voice has to be heard'

This research study aims to contribute to a better understanding of the issues facing young people when they leave care.

This report aims to answer three main research questions.

• What are the needs and circumstances of young people aged 17-18 who leave care in North Dublin?
• What factors are associated with more positive outcomes for young people?
• What are young people’s experiences of receiving aftercare supports?

The full report is now available to download as a PDF file (you will need to have a free PDF reader such as Adobe installed).
