| The effectiveness of training and support for carers and other professionals on the physical and emotional health and well-being of looked-after children and young people: a systematic review. |
| Summary: A systematic review of evidence on the effectiveness of training provided to carers on the physical and emotional health and well-being of looked-after children and young people. Found six studies all focusing on foster carers. Three studies from the USA reported a benefit of training and three from the UK reported no benefit. Those reporting a benefit had longer-duration training, shorter follow-up assessment and recruited carers of younger children than studies that reported no benefit. |
