Born into Care: Scotland workshop held today
As part of the ESRC funded “Born into Care: Scotland” project (more details here) Dr Linda Cusworth, research fellow in the Centre organised a workshop on Thursday 23rd January in Edinburgh. Participants included Scottish Government policy makers and analytical colleagues, academics, and representatives from practitioner organisations and the Scottish Children Reporter’s Administration (SCRA). We heard key messages from research relating to infants entering care in England, Wales and Scotland, reflected on differences in legal frameworks, policy, practice, and data coverage and availability, and discussed the unanswered questions and research needs. A summary of the workshop will be available soon.
