Education, School, Work - Care Experienced Young People and Supportive Infrastructures

This article focuses on support structures for care experienced young people (CEYP) in the context of education. It follows the question of what suitable support services for CEYP on their (educational) pathway might look like. Therefore, it first takes a closer look at the educational situation of CEYP by a narrative literature review to identify factors that promote or hinder their educational pathway. Further, ways to set up such support structures, taken from Germany, are presented. In conclusion, it is pointed out that there is a need for local, structurally anchored, cross-jurisdictional services to support CEYP on their (educational) pathway. Based on this, potential for additional research work and ideas for further developing supportive infrastructures for CEYP are suggested as a conclusion of this article.
