This accessible guide provides a detailed and practical understanding of how to support Children Looked After (CLA), exploring concepts surrounding identity and the key role professionals can play by becoming advocates for these children. With a mixture of theory, reflection, and application to practice, the book considers contemporary topics, from Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), labelling and stigma, to the relationships surrounding Children Looked After. Embedded within the chapters are positive everyday practices, case studies and dialogues, all of which help to create a safe space for children to develop their own sense of self. Throughout the book, outdated views are challenged and replaced with the voices of children and young people themselves, and strategies and opportunities are provided for the reader to truly understand the perspectives of Children Looked After and to develop their practice to best support their needs and wellbeing. Care is taken to refer to Children Looked After, rather than Looked After Children, placing the child at the forefront and before their care status. Informative and reflective, this book offers both students and professionals a diverse insight into what makes a Child Looked After unique, with the aim to turn the tide on their development and outcomes. It will be key reading for all professionals including those within education and social work, as well as those on undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional childhood courses.
