Young People and the Care Experience Research, Policy and Practice

"This is a very valuable book. Shaw and Frost are to be congratulated on completing such a comprehensive and ambitious project. It provides a very good overview of services for children in care and current debates. The authors are well informed, make good use of research evidence and provide a wide-ranging and balanced commentary and critique on key issues. It will serve as an excellent introduction to the sector, particularly for social work students and others seeking to develop careers in working with disadvantaged children" - David Berridge, Head of the Centre for Family Policy and Child Welfare, University of Bristol, UK
