The Government of Malta, through the Ministry for Social Policy and Children's Rights, is close to launching a formal After-Care Policy to support young people leaving residential alternative care, aiming to offer them stability, opportunities, and continued support beyond childhood services. The policy, which has been developed with input from stakeholders and those with lived experience, was highlighted alongside an agreement with the Salesians to provide mentoring and assistance to care leavers as they transition to independence and contribute positively to society.
