Child abuse is typically considered to be the most severe form of
early adversity to which children or adolescents can be subjected.
Maltreated young people seen as at the highest risk are likely to
be placed in out-of-home care for their own protection, including
foster care, kinship care, group care, or independent living. Young
People in Out-of-Home Care is based on more than two decades of
applied research and evaluation, conducted since 2000, as part of
the ongoing Ontario Looking After Children (OnLAC) Project. The
OnLAC project was based on a new child welfare approach known as
Looking After Children, developed in the UK in the late 1980s and
1990s, to reform and improve services to vulnerable young people
who were being looked after in out-of-home care. When launched in
2000, the OnLAC project “Canadianized” the UK approach and
partnered with the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid
Societies (OACAS) and some 20 children’s aid societies in the
province. Since 2007, the Ontario government has mandated that
local societies use the OnLAC method to plan services and monitor
outcomes. Since 2000, the Ontario Looking After Children (OnLAC)
project has gathered information on results and well-being from
interviews with more than 35,000 young people in care, their
caregivers, and their child welfare workers. Young People in Out-
of-Home Care presents major project findings and lessons that
promise to improve young people’s education, development, health,
social and family relationships, mental health, and preparation for
transition to community life.
