The Looking After Children (LAC) protocols that were developed during the 1990s in the UK represented a ground-breaking move to make services more child centred, with an emphasis on the needs of the child being paramount. Kathleen Kufeldt, Marie Simard and Jacques Vachon discuss how similar measures were initiated across the Atlantic in the form of a three-year Looking After Children in Canada project. This involved collaborative partnership between service providers, researchers and a major funding agency. The authors discuss how it set about achieving reform, and assess its impact on improving the quality of life for children in foster care. Findings in many ways replicate the UK experience, indicating the benefits of a child-centred approach and the considerable potential of such records to improve practice and thus outcomes for looked after children. |
