Abstract

Independent Living Skills (ILS) are essential to support young people as they enter adulthood. Negative outcomes are consistently observed across a variety of different independent living areas of life for care experienced young people. This study aimed to analyse ILS measure scores across eight ILS domains and overall, completed by young people from Western Australia (WA), to understand how they differ between participants who were still in-care (n = 49) and who had left-care (n = 73), and what factors (such as care experience and personal characteristics) moderate the acquisition of ILS. For this paper, the overarching concept of ILS is defined by young people’s ILS measure scores, where higher self-reported scores are interpreted as greater confidence and competence in ILS (overall and for each of the eight ILS domains).
