Presents the development of a set of measurable standards for therapeutic child care institutions. Begins by outlining the British legislative and contextual framework that the standards needed to work within, together with a profile of children who are likely to be most in need of residential provision. From this information goes on to develop a model of standards incorporing the clinical needs of the children, their families and carers in an environment that encourages lasting growth and change together with social and emotional intelligence.
