A new study from the Rees Centre at the Department of Education calls for a complete rethink of how we measure success for young people leaving care.
Commissioned by Become, the national charity for children in care and young care leavers, the project worked directly with care-experienced young people to challenge the narrow measures through which local authorities and government define outcomes.
Through a four-year, co-designed study, the care-experienced Design Group worked with researchers to develop an alternative framework — and a new “Success Survey” — that captures what care leavers said really matters to them, including stability, relationships, emotional well-being, and everyday achievements often missed by official statistics.
