<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Dear All,<br><br>
We are looking for information on the physical health needs (and how
<br>
such needs are or aren't being met) for children who are in some sense
<br>
'looked after' by the state (UK term). Amongst this population are
<br>
included children and adolescents in foster care, in residential <br>
settings, in secure units, etc.... We are running electronic
searches<br>
across standard databases but would welcome any information, opinion or
<br>
comments from the list.<br><br>
best wishes<br>
