The Care Pathways and Outcomes Study has been following the lives of a population of young children in care in Northern Ireland since 2000. They are 16-21 now.
Great excitement today as we are absolutely delighted to launch our updated project blog for the Care Pathways and Outcomes Study!
Call over to see what we are currently up to. You can look forward to regular updates from myself and @DomMcSherry1.

Looking forward to seeing our paper in this special edition. It has been accepted and is in the final stages and as soon as it is available online, we will share it with you. The first paper from the study to harness the power of our longitudinal data over 3 waves.
Update: The Special Issue in Journal of Child Abuse and Neglect on the 'relationship between adoption and trauma' will be released in June 2022.
There are 14 articles, presenting range of empirical, clinical, and autoethnographic perspectives.
Should be well worth a read.
