Abstract

This opening chapter provides the reader with an insight into the rationale for bringing together this edited collection, Children and Young People ‘Looked After’? Education, Intervention and the Everyday Culture of Care in Wales. It sets out the aims and scope of the volume, as well providing an overview of the following chapters and the ways in which they connect to the core themes of education, social policy, practice, research, and the everyday lives of care-experienced children and young people in the Welsh context. All researchers have stories to tell about why they chose to research particular topics, and the book’s editors have been involved in work with children and young people in the care system and care leavers, linked with academic research, consultations, teaching and social work practice (Mannay et al., 2015, 2017; Pithouse and Rees, 2014; Roberts, 2017; Roberts et al., 2016, 2017). This experience has engendered an admiration for the care-experienced populations we have encountered, and, at the same time, a disappointment that, despite social research and policy interventions, they are faced with pervasive educational and social inequalities, which can have consequences for their transitions to the workplace and their sense of security, self and ongoing stability.
