Report on residential care for young people in care in 2011-12

About 11 per cent of young people in alternative care in South Australia live in residential care houses and many others will spend at least some time in residential care during their time in care.

Residential care is where the young person is in ‘a residential building whose purpose is to provide placements for children and where there are paid staff’ (AIHW).

I have the right to be safe and well cared for.

As a child and young person in care, you have special rights. These are rules that should be followed so you can grow up happy, healthy and achieving your dreams.

If you feel that your rights are not being met, and you are not being listened to, we can help.
