To understand what is working well and not so well in out-of-home care, CREATE developed a survey based on the National Standards for Out-of-Home Care (National Standards). The National Standards were written by the Australian Government and include areas that are important to the wellbeing of all children and young people in care. These areas include things like participation, education, health, being connected to family and heaps more.
It’s been five years since CREATE did their first survey, so CREATE wanted to do a follow-up survey to see whether things are better, worse, or have stayed the same. This Young Person’s Report is a snapshot of the main things from the survey. CREATE found that there were some areas that were working well and some areas that weren’t working well according to CREATE’s 2013 survey, the Government report, and this new report.
