Extract

In the light of Dave Vicary's review of 40 years of publications addressing out-of-home care (OOHC) issues and current concerns about both the systemic context of child protection and the comparatively narrow range of options for the delivery of care in the sector, a range of people from Australia and beyond were asked for their responses to the question: Where do you see OOHC going in the next 40 years and what do you think our priorities need to be?
