This book was originally published in 1998, when over 6,000
children lived in residential homes in England and Wales. The fact
that some children's homes are better than others is well
established, but why should this be so? Past answers have tended to
be tautologous - rather on the lines of 'a good home is one where
children do well; children do well because they are in a good
home.' This study examines various aspects of children's homes and
explores the connections between them in an attempt to break down
the old circular argument. Structures are discernible in the
relationship between different types of goals - societal, formal
and belief; the variable balance between these goals determines
staff cultures, which, in turn, shape the child cultures that
develop. Such relationships are important because of their close
association with outcomes - whether the children do well, whether
the homes prosper. The model described in the book provides a
conceptual framework and a set of causal relationships that should
help professionals to plan and manage residential care better and
so meet the needs of vulnerable children more effectively.
