The views of children and young people in out-of-home care: overview of indicator results from second national survey, 2018

This report presents an overview of results from a 2018 national data collection on the views of children in out-of-home care. The majority of children (92%) reported feeling both safe and settled in their current placement; 97% reported that they had an adult who cares about what happens to them now and in the future. 66% of respondents reported that they usually get to have a say in what happens to them, and that people usually listen to what they say. For indicators that had comparable data for the 2015 and 2018 surveys, there was little, if any, difference between the 2 surveys.
