Abstract

In this speech given at the launch of a "landmark package of support for young people leaving care," Nadhim Zahawi, the UK's Minister for Children and Families, spoke about a new initiative to increase support for care leavers in the UK.

This study aimed to understand the experience of adoptive parents who have completed dyadic developmental psychotherapy (DDP) therapy.

The aim of this study was to investigate the degree to which data collection achieves screening aims (identifying scale of problem, impacting on mental health) and the potential analytic value of the dataset.

This report uses local authority data from March 2017 to estimate how many UK children under the age of five are at risk of severe harm, with a particular focus on infants under the age of one. 

This study sought to find out the current numbers of autistic Looked-After children formally recorded across local authorities in England, and whether their needs are given special attention via strategic planning and oversight, using Freedom of Information (FoI) requests sent to all local authorities in England.
