This booklet has been designed to help local authorities, schools and their partners work together to ensure they can provide every child, including looked after children, with the kind of positive learning experience which is the foundation for future success.

This literature review highlights the voices of looked after children in the UK from existing research, on their journey through the care system.

This briefing paper is the first in a series, from an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded research study. The study explores the prevalence and characteristics of children growing up in kinship care in the UK using 2011 Census microdata.

This study tested the capacity to perceive visual expressions of emotion, and to use those expressions as guides to social decisions, in three groups of 8- to 10-year-old Romanian children: children abandoned to institutions then randomly assigned to remain in ‘care as usual’ (institutional care); children abandoned to institutions then randomly assigned to a foster care intervention; and community children who had never been institutionalized. 

This briefing outlines what current research tells us about the nature of peer-on-peer abuse, and considers what this might mean for building a response. 

According to this report from Lumos, in 2010 there were more than 6,700 children living in institutions in Bulgaria. 

This study examines the consequences of the affective and educative nature of Romanian parents’ migration related to their children.
