Education
Post-school attainment and support: What factors support care experienced and adopted young people, and those currently experiencing the ‘care system’, to achieve and sustain positive post-school destinations (including further and higher education, training, and employment), and where do transition points present the greatest risks of disengagement?

Education
Educational outcomes and experiences: What factors drive differences in educational outcomes for children experiencing the ‘care system’ across caring environments (e.g. foster care, kinship care, at home, and residential care, including secure care) and how do outcomes compare for children in informal kinship care arrangements (including those subject to Section 11 orders)?

Education
Educational outcomes and experiences: How do different ways of defining and stratifying care experience (for example by age at first entry to care, cumulative time spent in care, stability of caring environment, or recency of care) shape our understanding of educational outcomes for care experienced young people, and is there a single or combined approach that is most informative for policy and practice?

Education
Stability at school: To what extent are the differences in educational outcomes seen between caring environments explained by stability related factors such as moves between homes, school moves, attendance, and continuity of key relationships?
