Help Create Change! Take Part in Our National Study on Care-Experienced Young Adults Education, Employment & Training.

CES, in partnership with the Department of Children, Disability and Equality (DCDE) and Tusla, is commencing a new national study to examine how care-experienced young adults aged 18-24 are supported in education, employment and training.

‍Care-Experienced Young Adults

The research team wants hear from young adults aged 18-24, who have experience of the care system in the Republic of Ireland, about their experience of education, employment and training.

We planned to interview 8-10 care-experienced young adults, but interview spaces filled quickly due to incredible interest - thank you! Your voice remains crucial to this research. Complete our survey to share your experiences and help improve support for care-experienced young adults. Survey closes on 19th September. All participants can enter for a chance of winning One4All vouchers.

‍Service Providers

We also want to hear from Service Providers - staff or management of services supporting care-experienced young adults aged 18-24 in the Republic of Ireland, in any way, with their education, employment or training.

• complete a short survey here‍
• register for a Focus Group here

Focus group places are limited, so we encourage all service providers to also do the survey to make sure your voice is heard.
