This study explored how child maltreatment, alongside a range of other variables, predicted adverse outcomes for children adopted from the foster care system in England.

In this article for the Guardian, Hannah Walker, a social worker and life story book worker, writes about the use of life story books for children who have been adopted.

This article identifies the steps that can be taken to support women at risk of recurrently losing children to care.

This study aimed to explain the development of the educational gap between children in “out‐of‐home care” (CLA), children deemed in social need (CIN), and other pupils.

The study substantiates the organizational, psychological, pedagogical and socio-legal principles of creating a safe educational environment for children deprived of parental care, providing the proper conditions for their socialization, harmonious physical, mental, moral and volitional, and spiritual development.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of sleep medication and concomitant psychotropic medication in children and adolescents placed under residential care (RC) in Norway.

The objective of this study was to compare the effects of poverty and physical neglect on the development of problematic externalizing and internalizing behaviors, adaptive skills, and school problems among school children between the ages of 3 and 12.

This qualitative study has used ten focus groups with foster carers, eight interviews with mothers, and nine interviews with supervising social workers, to inform the development of an online learning resource and a social media-based peer support network for parent-and-child foster carers.

A new study examining data on almost half a million children in the UK who began school in September 2005, found that of the 6,240 children who entered the care system during their school years, 83% required additional special educational needs (SEN) support, according to this article from the Guardian.

This editorial piece from the Guardian calls on the UK government to conduct a review of the care system, as promised in the Conservatives’ manifesto.
