| Synopsis: |
This Paper examines the question 'What is the best way to care for children unable to grow up with their birth parents?', finding that many children and young people who are in care are characterised by insecurity, ill health, lack of fulfilment and educational underachievement. The document also reviews reforms of children's services carried out under the "Every Child Matters" (ISBN 0215023897, available below) programme. The Paper puts forward numerous proposals including: new research on identifying and responding to neglect; testing out a model of intensive whole family therapy which aims to keep families together where possible; improving the links between adults' and children's services in order to ensure that professionals working with either group see the family as a whole; creating a Centre of Excellence for Children's and Families Services in order to identify and spread evidence-based solutions to the problems experienced by families whose children are on the edge of care; and aims to launch a national debate on the future of care. |
