No. 48 (2026): Socio-educational intervention with young people in the child protection system: analysis of results and impact

This special issue examines the results and impacts of public policies and socio-educational intervention programs targeting children and young people with experience in the care system, both during their time in care and throughout their transition to adulthood. It analyses initiatives that integrate socio-educational guidance, emotional support, community-based resources, and opportunities for social participation, evaluating the extent to which these interventions generate significant changes and identifying the factors that explain their effectiveness. The issue also examines the effects of specific policies and institutional measures, such as transitional support programs, on educational access and continuity. The evidence presented contributes to a better understanding of the impact of current measures and interventions and provides insights to refine professional practice and public policy for more tailored support for care-experienced young people.
