«Contributions examine a number of recurring themes and pay particular attention to the importance of the relationship between young people and residential staff members. This book is an essential addition to the literature on residential child care.»

«This is a refreshingly readable book which looks at both research findings and practical ways of working to improve the care of young people in residential settings. The book is divided into four sections with wide-ranging contributions on promoting well-being and development, addressing discrimination, conflict and response, and context and culture... This is a book students, residential staff and managers should all find useful, with extensive references for following-up specific issues in more detail. I would highly recommended it for all those learning about, working in, or managing residential services for young people.»
