- key facts and figures relating to residential child care
- different types of residential care settings
- the range of needs that children/young people may present
- key legislation and policy relating to residential child care
- attitudes towards children's rights.
As you look at the list of topics above, think about these questions:
- What did I know before?
- What do I know now?
- What has changed?
- How will this benefit the children I care for?
