Research by the authors' into six geographically dispersed local authority homes providing short-term care for children with learning difficulties revealed that although the quality of physical and emotional care the children received was consistently high, few staff have implemented key principles of the Children Act; such as a requirement that children who are accommodated should have a comprehensive child care plan written in consultation with parents and the child. Recommends that services need to be more child-centred and ethnically sensitive and that this may be achieved through training and access to relevant information.
