This webinar is aimed at anyone interested in care, including measures of out-of-home care, social service contact, caring responsibilities and social care.

Dr Sam Parsons will then demonstrate the potential of this data by presenting recently published and unique findings on whether any trauma associated with out-of-home care transmits across generations. This includes how it may influence the mental health, resilience and educational progression of children of care leavers.
