Sexual and gender minorities, for example, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth, are overrepresented in the child welfare system and an increasing number of LGBTQ people are becoming foster parents. The objective of this scoping review is to provide an overview of the existing empirical research on the practices of child welfare services towards LGBTQ individuals (i.e., youth, carers and foster parents). The review followed the methodology framework outlined by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, PubMed and Idunn were searched to identify studies appropriate for inclusion. There were 45 studies that met the inclusion criteria; 24 concerned LGBTQ youth, 10 encompassed foster parents, while nine had the service perspective as the primary focus. The studies originated from the USA (k = 34), the UK (k = 6), Australia (k = 2) and the Netherlands (k = 1). Of the included studies, 28 were qualitative, 14 were quantitative, and three studies used mixed method approach. The findings indicate that LGBTQ youth are overrepresented in the child welfare system and that LGBTQ youth and foster parents often face stigma and discrimination. The results reveal a gap in the current knowledge about social workers' attitudes, knowledge and experiences regarding working with LGBTQ individuals.child protection, child welfare, foster parents, LGBTQ, sexual and gender minorities, vulnerable populations | INTRODUCTIONLesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning or queer (LGBTQ) in the child welfare system have received little attention in practice, research and policy (McCormick et al., 2016). This is somewhat surprising, as Sullivan (1994) over 20 years ago pointed at barriers towards effective child welfare services (CWS) that particularly concerns adolescents from sexual and gender minorities. These barriers included the absence of integration of existing research and knowledge in policies and practices, inequalities in the understanding of this group's needs, lack of suitable foster homes and group homes/ institutions with appropriate competence and limited flexibility in such arrangements for older children. Although the literature on LGBTQ in child welfare is sparse, it has increased the recent years. Recent findings indicate that young people who identify as LGBTQ are overrepresented in the child welfare systems and that LGBTQ youth in the child welfare system are at risk for several adverse mental health outcomes, compared with non-LGBTQ youth (Dettlaff et al., 2018).

“…The lives of LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual and other forms of sexual identities and orientations-for a detailed explanation of these terms see LGBTQIA Resource Center Glossary, 2021) youth in out-of-home care have received little attention from the academic and practice fields of child protection until recent years (Kaasbøll & Paulsen, 2019;McCormick et al, 2017). The available knowledge shows that LGBTQIA+ youth in out-of-home care are often confronted with a system that does not meet their basic needs.…”

Research on the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual and other forms of sexual identities and orientations (LGBTQIA+) youth in care has mainly examined their experiences from a risk-based approach, while few studies have explored their resilience experiences.Using in-depth interviews, the present study aims to illuminate the resilience experiences of 13 LGBTQIA+ young people in out-of-home care in the Netherlands. Four themes emerged from their narratives: relationships that support and empower; construction of a positive identity around their sexual orientation and gender identity and expression (SOGIE); community involvement and self-relying strategies. Our findings support the view of resilience as a complex process that shows at an individual, interpersonal and social level.
