In 1992, Ireland committed to the right of children to participate in decision-making that impacts on their lives. The extent to which this right is upheld for young people in the care of the State who live in residential childcare centres is unknown. A small qualitative case study was carried out in four such centres in the West of Ireland in 2012 which aimed to establish young people's level of participation and the factors which influence it. The findings show that they were relatively satisfied with decision-making in everyday matters though this was fraught with difficulties because of control battles. They had limited involvement in decisions about admission to residential care and the process of admission, family access, education/training and their future plans. These young people were unfamiliar with their right to participate and the majority of social care workers in the study had not received training on participation. Factors were identified as enabling participation or creating obstacles to it. They include the value placed on the voice of the child, the capacity of young people to participate, their access to effective advocates and the nature of the available participatory spaces. The knowledge, skills, values and personalities of relevant professionals were key determinants of youth participation. (Publisher abstract)

This guidance outlines the staffing guidelines which are used as the baseline staffing requirements in a residential care home setting. Managers must, in the interest and safety of residents, ensure that all the points that are set out in the document are taken into account when calculating staffing levels for individual settings. Proposed staffing levels should be agreed with the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority prior to registration, at re-registration of the residential care home and at any other time as required. Staffing levels should be kept under continuous review. The document expands on the following points when staffing levels are being determined: the role of the registered manager; the competencies and experience of staff; the layout of the home and accessibility of facilities; supervised practice and staff training; staff workload; categories of care; the dependency levels of residents; and the ratio of staff to residents.

This paper explores the transitions of young people, aged 16-18, leaving state care in England, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland. It is based substantially upon the findings from collaborative research which developed in stages between 1991-1999 - and is still ongoing: Four substantive areas are discussed. First, the legal framework of the three jurisdictions: the Children Act 1989, the Children (Northern Ireland) order 1995 and the Child Care Act 1991; second, the research context within the three child care systems; third, the findings from the three related projects; and, finally, the key themes and issues arising from the research studies.
