Edging away from care – how services successfully prevent young people entering care.
Summary: Analyses a small sample of local authorities and their partner agencies and looks at how they successfully supported young people who were at risk of entering care to remain living at home. It draws on the experiences and views of 43 families, including those of the young people themselves, their parents or carers and the key professionals and managers who were involved in coordinating and providing support services. The case studies used in this report illustrate aspects of good practice in a particular area and are not intended to suggest that practice was exemplary in every aspect.
