Information
services
in
the
United
Kingdom,
the
increasing
use
of
adoption
for
highly
vulnerable
young
children,
combined
with
family
support
for
those
able
to
leave
care
quickly,
means
that
those
who
remain
in
care
for
long
periods,
which
includes
most
young
people
in
residential
establishments,
are
more
likely
to
have
complex
and
enduring
needs.
Thus
when
considering
studies
of
children
in
different
types
of
residential
care
or
experiencing
other
interventions,
we
need
to
be
sure
that
children
with
the
same
needs,
at
the
same
level
of
severity,
are
being
compared.
Otherwise
we
might
attribute
any
findings
to
the
care
setting
rather
than
to
the
background
of
the
children.
In
summary,
we
accept
the
argument
that
practice
based
on
demonstrable
effectiveness
is
both
desirable
and
a
right
for
children
and
their
families.
However,
we
remain
conscious
of
the
difficulties
of
measurement,
analysis
and
interpretation.
