1. Introduction
Welcome to the third of SCIE's e-learning resources on residential child care.
Please note that SCIE has published a further two resources on the topic of residential child care:
SCIE e-learning resource (2008) 'An introduction to residential child care'
This introductory resource gives a general introduction to this area, covering such areas as facts and figures, needs and care environments, legislation and rights.
SCIE e-learning resource (2008) 'Meeting children's needs'
This introductory resource aims to deepen your understanding of how residential care can meet a child's needs and present a range of specific tools and strategies to help you meet these needs.
