OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
