"This book is invaluable reading for anyone working with children and young people in all forms of residential and boarding education and care, and for students of childcare at undergraduate and post-qualifying levels, in the UK and internationally. The framework can be readily applied to training, assessment of standards, inspections, and research and development."--BOOK JACKET.
