Research Study on Young Adults Leaving Irish Care System Post-Ryan Report

This research opportunity seeks qualified research service providers to conduct a comprehensive study examining the experiences, outcomes, and long-term impacts on young adults who transitioned out of the Irish care system following the Ryan Report. The study will explore participants' post-care trajectories, including education, employment, housing, health, social relationships, and overall wellbeing. Researchers should be prepared to design and implement appropriate methodologies for data collection, analysis, and reporting that capture both quantitative outcomes and qualitative lived experiences. The research aims to inform policy development and support services for care leavers.
