This paper reports on innovative research methods using GPS [Global Positioning System] devices that can trace social workers' mobilities and explore the use of office space, home working and visits to families in two English social work departments.

This article revists a report from February 1990 that shone light on the situation of children in orphanages in Romania and the high rate of HIV infection among them. 

The overall purpose of the study was to investigate how two different grading systems, the norm-referenced and the criterion-referenced garaging systems influence the educational achievement for children and youths placed in out-of-home care.

This paper sets out to give a rounded view of the Irish foster care system as currently constituted.

According to this report, children of prisoners in the UK are an "'invisible’ group – currently, children are not systematically identified or assessed when a parent goes to prison." The report aims to improve understanding of: who this ‘invisible’ group of children is; the extent, nature and root causes of their poorer outcomes; and how a whole family approach can be used to improve outcomes for children and parents and what needs to change.

The purpose of this assessment is to reflect on the successes and challenges of the Global Alliance for Children (GAC) experience, a large-scale initiative to support and improve outcomes for children throughout their life cycle, especially children most at risk of harm.

In Wales, a significant body of work has been produced on and with care-experienced children and young people. This edited collection attempts to highlight these valuable insights in a single volume.
