Young people call for change in the leaving care process

SOS Children's Villages

Nearly 170 care-experienced young people have been involved in a two-year project Prepare for Leaving Care – A Child Protection System that Works for Professionals and Young People which aims to ensure that the rights of young people in alternative care are respected and that protection systems adequately support care leavers. On 15 November, these care leavers and young people shared their recommendations with more than 60 representatives of governments, NGOs, youth welfare services and universities at the final project roundtable in Brussels.
