Why is it important?
Research into the views of children looked after/in care is lacking in general, but especially for young children. As well as seeking their views, this research also proposed a model to understand thier insights and considers implications for schools and practice.
Perspectives
This was my doctoral research and thus i am very invested in it, but hope that it will help others to understand this fantastic group whom have experienced such adversity.
