Their residential care experiences have been missing from the knowledge base, with no prior in-depth published research in the UK. Theoretically informed by an intersectional minority stress framework and combining qualitative and co-production methodologies, this study produced a nuanced understanding of the residential care experiences of LGBTQ+ young people. We interviewed twenty young people (sixteen\u2013twenty-four years old) in England with a broad range of LGBTQ+ and multiple intersecting minority identities. We analysed data using reflexive thematic analysis, producing four themes: widespread discrimination and marginalisation; unmet mental and sexual health needs; importance of affirming professional relationships and resilience and self-relying strategies. Findings suggest that multiple minority identities magnified young people\u2019s challenges. Combining the findings with our systematic scoping review developed an explanatory model which provides a dynamic understanding of (un)supportive or (dis)affirming residential care environments. Implications for policy, practice and research include LGBTQ+ inclusive policies and services, mandatory competency-based training combined with ongoing reflexive supervisory practice and incorporating the voices of LGBTQ+ young people in service delivery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bjsw\/bcad158","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,30]],"date-time":"2023-06-30T22:23:28Z","timestamp":1688163808000},"page":"1420-1440","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Residential Social Care Experiences of LGBTQ+ Young People in England: A Qualitative Interview Study"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6878-2366","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jason","family":"Schaub","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Work and Social Care, The University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Willem J","family":"Stander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Work and Social Care, The University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Montgomery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Work and Social Care, The University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"2024062614141745600_bcad158-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"219","DOI":"10.1177\/1468794112468475","article-title":"Now I see it, now I don\u2019t: Researcher\u2019s position and reflexivity in qualitative research","volume":"15","author":"Berger","year":"2015","journal-title":"Qualitative Research"},{"issue":"4","key":"2024062614141745600_bcad158-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"477","DOI":"10.1177\/1049731514537687","article-title":"Improving programs and outcomes: Implementation frameworks and organizational change","volume":"25","author":"Bertram","year":"2015","journal-title":"Research on Social Work Practice"},{"issue":"2","key":"2024062614141745600_bcad158-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"77","DOI":"10.1191\/1478088706qp063oa","article-title":"Using thematic analysis in psychology","volume":"3","author":"Braun","year":"2006","journal-title":"Qualitative Research in Psychology"},{"key":"2024062614141745600_bcad158-B4","volume-title":"Thematic Analysis: A Practical Guide","author":"Braun","year":"2021"},{"key":"2024062614141745600_bcad158-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"106524","DOI":"10.1016\/j.childyouth.2022.106524","article-title":"What was care like for me?
