These are some of the gaps in our knowledge identified in the 1990safter a series of inquiries into the handling of residential care.As part of the government response, the Department of Healthinitiated a programme of research into aspects of residential care,resulting in a series of books published in association with JohnWiley & Sons. Caring for Children Away From Home summarises andbrings together the findings discussed in these books anddemonstrates their relevance to policy and practice. This book, inconjunction with other titles in the series, contains lessons forall those concerned with children and young people living away fromhome.
