Stability of placement for looked after children is a vital element in improving the life chances of this disadvantaged group. It has been recognised as such by the National Assembly of Wales and local authorities are required to increase stability as part of the Children First programme. This research is designed to provide benefit to the social care community in Wales in the following ways: by drawing together and analysing the research evidence in relation to promoting stability for looked after children; by investigating current practice in promoting stability and continuity; and by comparing the research evidence and current practice in order to a) highlight examples of best practice that fit with research evidence and b) provide an indication of policy and practice changes that might be of benefit.
