Background
 

This methodology report is a companion to Te Mātātaki, the first national survey of tamariki and rangatahi in care in New Zealand.

This report presents findings from Te Tohu o te Ora, the first national survey of tamariki and rangatahi in care.

This youth-led study sought to capture the perspectives of Indigenous youth who had been involved in the criminal justice system (or who were at high risk of such involvement), and who had accessed substance use treatment and/or had experienced barriers to accessing substance use services.

This is an ethical framework to guide engagement with tamariki (children) and rangatahi (young people) who are care experienced (that is, who currently or at some stage in their lives have been in foster or residential care).

The case studies outlined in this publication draw upon earlier work, which suggested that young people leaving care may broadly fall into one of three groups: those successfully ‘moving on’ from care; those who are ‘survivors’; and those who are ‘strugglers’.

This paper presents three care experienced perspectives on the benefits and challenges of capturing the voices of young people to inform policy and organisational decision-making in youth services.

This paper presents the findings of a study in the Australian state of Victoria where a group of lived experience consultants (LECs) were employed to consult on the results of a broader survey of the attitudes of professionals, carers and care leavers regarding the educational experiences of children in out-of-home care.
