This American research focuses on perceptions and practices of agency staff supervising the placements of the hardest-to-place children. Results found children experiencing long delays were more likely to have substantial disabilities, be male African American, and be older when they entered care. Caseworkers were not convinced of the eventual adoptability of the child in their care and this scepticism appears to be translating into reduced recruitment efforts on behalf of the child. Discusses the implications of study results for child welfare practice.

Discusses how recent developments in community care law and the growth of law in relation to children 'in need', rather than just children who are subject to care proceedings, have significant implications for children's services. Argues that this may lead to a change in the provision of services to children, making them more on par with adult services. Looks at this trend and considers the changes, particularly in relation to housing and residential assessment placements.
