MISSING THE MARK: Contemporary out of home care services for young people with intensive support needs
by
Howard Bath, Director, Marymead Centre, ACT
Few if any challenges for the care system are as critically important at present as the need to find and deliver an effective range of services for young people with high support needs. Non-government and government organisations in all states and territories are grappling with the difficulties of providing sufficient, safe, quality care settings for challenging young people. In the wake of de-institutionalisation the challenges and opportunities for developing successful service models are yet to be answered. The purpose of this paper is to stimulate discussion and, hopefully, some action, around service responses to young people with intensive support needs who come into contact with out-of-home care services.
