Description
Introduction There is a substantial and growing interest in approaches which could deliver better outcomes for looked after children, with current research into the effectiveness of a variety of therapeutic packages that include multi-systemic therapy and multi-dimensional treatment foster care. This is within the context of it being well known that the prevalence of mental health problems among looked after children across the lifespan is substantially higher than in the general population (see McCann et al, 1996; Phillips, 1997; Saunders and Broad, 1997). In addition, looked after children are at greater risk (in childhood and later life) of offending behaviour, unemployment, self-harm, domestic violence, drug and alcohol misuse, and having their own children eventually removed into local authority care (see Social Services Inspectorate, 1997; Richardson and Lelliott, 2003).
