are usefully summarised in:

Department of Health (1998) 'Caring for children away from home: Messages

Fernandez, E. (1996) 'Significant Harm - Unravelling Child Protection
Decisions and Substitute Care Careers of Children' Aldershot, Avebury.
ISBN: 1-859-72210-5
(An article on this work is available in Children and Youth Services Review
