Abstract

Young people living in out-of-home care (OOHC) are required to make significant decisions when transitioning from care. Without measures to support participation in the planning process, young people, particularly those with cognitive impairment, are at risk of having decisions made for them ‘in their best interests’ by others and, without capacity to identify will and preference, are at increased risk of being placed under a guardianship order for decision-making. Little is known about (1) how young people with cognitive impairment are supported to develop autonomy in decision-making over time, and (2) what systems and services support the evolving capacity of young people with cognitive impairment in OOHC to participate in transition planning. We undertook a qualitative study to address this knowledge gap and contribute to practice.
