List of Organisations

IRISS,

The core aim of this programme is to contribute to the development of a platform that will support better understanding of the routes from intervention to outcomes for vulnerable children in Scotland through utilising administrative datasets and longitudinal research.

Ofsted,

This report analyzes how a small sample of 12 children’s homes in England achieved and sustained outstanding status over a period of three years. The report describes and interprets what inspectors found to be the reasons for success in these outstanding homes and how the providers themselves explained the factors that contribute to outstanding care. The experience of the children and young people who live in these homes is also a key element of the report as it is, of course, the real hallmark of quality.
