What are we learning about residential care for children?

'Scaling down: Reducing, reshaping and improving residential care around the world' is the first paper of a series of papers aiming to promote positive care choices by providing an evidence base on a range of care options and decision-making processes.

This paper by EveryChild explores the current evidence base regarding different residential care options for children. Although it does not focus on care for sexually exploited and trafficked children as such, the findings and learning are relevant to those working with these young people.
