“…However, it is essential to acknowledge that these young people are not a homogenous group (Dixon & Stein, 2005;Kendrick, 2008;Owusu-Bempah, 2010), the quality of their care and early family experiences that have resulted in their reception into the care system reflect diverse backgrounds (Pinkerton, 1999). Nevertheless, the presence of emotional and psychological problems among children who have experienced abuse is well documented (Perry et al, 1995;Flores, Cicchetti, & Rogosch, 2005;Cicchetti and Rogosch, 1997;Frederico, Jackson, & Black, 2008.). A consistent finding is that children and young people subjected to abuse and neglect may experience multiple and interrelated consequences (Bailey, Thoburn, & Wakeham, 2002).…”

Developing quality relationships is recognised as an active ingredient for effective interventions with young people in care. Essentially, care staff has the opportunity and capacity to positively influence the young person's experiences in care, through the positive relationships they form. This paper presents selectively on the findings of two separate but related qualitative Irish studies exploring relationship-based approaches in residential child care practice, from the perspectives of both residential child care workers and young care leavers. Thirty-two professionals and four care leavers participated in either focus group or individual interviews. The findings are integrated in this paper with the wider literature on young people leaving care, with the aim of identifying core knowledge that is needed by service providers who are tasked with the support of young people making the transition out of care and towards independent living. In this paper we attempt to identify the knowledge base on relationship-building which is needed by care staff in order to carry out their role. It is argued that an explicit knowledge base is overdue now that the complex needs of young people in care are increasingly visible through advances in research and more recently the emerging literature concerning the personal testimonies of care graduates.

“…Any maltreatment of a child may lead to damaging adverse consequences; however, research indicates that chronicity and experiencing multiple types of abuse and neglect are related to greater maladjustment and negative outcomes for children (Arata, Langhinrichsen-Rohling, Bowers, and O'Farrill-Swails, 2005;Ethier, Lemelin, and Lacharite, 2004;Frederico, Jackson, and Black, 2008;Higgins and McCabe, 2001). Research on the relationship between different types of abuse and neglect is limited.…”

“…Chronic experiences of child abuse and neglect occurring over different developmental periods can have a profound and exponential impact on a child's life (Frederico;Jackson;and Black, 2008;Miller, 2007). In associating child abuse and neglect with negative consequences, it is important to consider a child's abuse history rather than one isolated episode of abuse.…”

A B S T R AC TChildren in the protection and care system are highly vulnerable and need more than protection and physical care. This paper outlines elements of an innovative therapeutic programme, Take Two, which combines trauma and attachment-informed practice with a clinical outcomes focus. An important feature was the embedding of a research and evaluation partnership between the programme and a university. The paper discusses the challenges of implementing a research approach into a highly sensitive 'messy' or non-routine environment. The paper portrays the value of a trauma and attachment perspective within a developmental and ecological framework to guide understanding and intervention with these children and their network. A description of the client group is followed by analysis of outcome measures: the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children and the Social Network Map. Findings include the significant reduction of trauma-related symptoms, an increase in the percentage of friends identified and an increase, albeit not significant, in the percentage of people described as very close. The results point to the importance of family in the lives of these children. This study explores this type of research in situ and its value in building knowledge and strengthening practice.
