Young people who enjoyed a relatively stable experience in care were more likely to be settled after 16. [ Important factors that affected their care experience included: the age they entered care and the reasons that brought them there; and the number and type of placements they experienced. Young people on care orders were least likely to be engaged in any economic activity. Care experience affected the young people's ability to build and maintain significant relationships, their education, and their attitudes and self-esteem. Educational achievement The young person's care experience also had an impact on their educational achievement. The majority of young people entered care aged 14, just before they started GCSE courses. Because of their disrupted childhoods, a number of young people were already struggling with their schoolwork when they entered care. In some cases, frequent moves to new placements also required moves to a new school. This left young people struggling to keep up because schools followed different curricula. Getting behind in their work also undermined young people's motivation and self-confidence. This had a bearing on their educational achievement; most young people left school with few or no qualifications.
