Alternative care consists of all formal and informal arrangements whereby a child is looked after at least overnight outside the parental home, either by decision of a judicial or administrative authority or duly accredited body, or at the initiative of the child, his/her parent(s) or primary caregivers, or spontaneously by a care provider in the absence of parents.
Care Leavers Support
Transitional support provided for children and young people exiting alternative care, typically through aging out of residential or foster care. It can commence several years prior to a child aging out of care or at the point of exit. It can include housing, vocational, employment, financial, life skills, mental health, social and emotional support.
