OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This seminar will summarise a program of research that has been conducted at the Australian Centre for Child Protection. This program aims to synthesize and translate current research on the developmental needs of looked after children into effective interventions and supports.
Dr McLean will describe the findings from structured literature reviews about the needs of looked after children.
Combining this knowledge with the views of almost 400 foster carers has created a profile of the support needs for looked after children. The implications of these findings for supporting educational and placement stability will be explored. Because of the often invisible impact of prenatal alcohol exposure on development, the needs of this group of looked-after children will be emphasised.
