A particular focus of the research was the extent to which young people participate in and feel they can influence the development of plans that affect their future. Findings indicate that young people hold very different perceptions and opinions about a wide rang of relevvent issues than do the child care workers and social workers who serve them; as well, they feel powerless and left out of the planning process. Implications for child welfare services generally and for child care practice specifically are discussed. ER -
