This book draws together for the first time some of the most important international policy practice and research relating to education in out-of-home care. It addresses the knowledge gap around how good learning experiences can enrich and add enjoyment to the lives of children and young people as they grow and develop. Through its ecological-development lens it focuses sharply on the experience of learning from early childhood to tertiary education. It offers empirical insights and best practices examples of learning and caregiving contexts with children and young people in formal learning settings, at home and in the community. This book is highly relevant for education and training programs in pedagogy, psychology, social work, youth work, residential care, foster care and kinship care along with early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary education courses.

That research had a strong focus on the education experience outcomes of young people living with mental health issues. Patricia has since worked for almost twenty years as a teaching and research academic in social work. Her current research interests include education in out-of-home care and therapeutic approaches to residential and foster care. Together with colleagues from La Trobe University she recently completed a funded scoping of education outcomes of care leavers across Australia.
