'Supporting Transitions and Throughcare: Some Lessons from Secure Care' - In Residence 12, August 2009
Year of Publication:
2009
SIRCC
Research in the area of throughcare and transitions has highlighted major problems (Dixon and Stein, 2002 and 2005; Stein, 2006). In response to such findings, regulations and guidance were published, outlining responsibilities for supporting young people leaving care (Scottish Executive, 2004). In spite of this, the development of good practice in transitions has been slow.
'Understanding Autism' - In Residence 11, April 2009
Year of Publication:
2009
SIRCC
Autism is a growing area of interest and concern in residential child care. The needs of some children who are affected by autism are met in autism-specific settings, or in disability units. It should be recognised, however, that children and young people affected by autism are appearing in all sectors of residential child care provision. As well as those who have a diagnosis, Myers (2004) suggested that there may be ‘hidden’ autism.
