On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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.
