Young people transitioning from being in care to living independently need support throughout this challenging time. Oranga Tamariki are currently designing a new transition service to support care-experienced youth to grow into flourishing adults.
A formative evaluation of two existing Auckland-based Transition from Care to Independence (TCI) Services was commissioned to inform this service design. The evaluation sought to understand how the services were operating on-the-ground, along with the experiences of those involved in its delivery.
