Care leaver outcomes for children in children’s homes
Young people leaving care face significant challenges in housing, education, and employment, with those from children’s homes experiencing the poorest outcomes. This paper reports on a national analysis of these outcomes in England using linked administrative data from the Children Looked After (CLA) and Children in Need (CIN) datasets. Five birth cohorts of young people who aged out of care between 2016 and 2020 (n≈40,000) were followed to age 2…
Factors associated with the school exclusion gap for children with social work involvement
Children who receive social care services are known to have higher exclusion rates than those without social care involvement. However, there is limited evidence on which groups of children are most at risk of this exclusion gap. This article reports on a retrospective analysis of administrative data from the National Pupil Database in England, covering two age-based cohorts of children (n = 1.2 million) who took standardized tests in 2019. Child…
What factors are associated with placement instability for children in children’s homes in England? A retrospective cohort analysis using national administrative data
In England, increasing numbers of children in care are placed in children’s homes, despite a shortage of suitable placements and concerns about continuity of care. Unstable and unsuitable care arrangements make it harder to look after children with complex needs and can have a long-term impact on their health and well-being. It is therefore important to understand the factors associated with multiple changes in placement. This article reports fin…
Tibetan gift-giving, British indifference, and the erasure of provenance in colonial india
In 1913, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet dispatched a lavish diplomatic gift to the viceroy of India. However, upon its arrival the colonial administration received it with marked disregard and its subsequent fate remains unknown. The lama’s gift and the British reaction to it brings into view the British Toshakhana in colonial India, an office within the foreign department in Calcutta responsible for managing, appraising, and discreetly selli…
Intervention Pathways following a Social Work Assessment
The majority of children referred to social care services in England go on to receive a statutory assessment by a social worker. Research has identified consistent categories of demand based on the needs identified in assessments. However, little is known about the relationship between children’s assessed needs and their subsequent intervention pathways. To explore this relationship, secondary analysis was undertaken of a national administrative …
Predictors of re-referral to children’s social care services
Fit for a King? The Significance of a Gift Exchange between the Thirteenth Dalai Lama and King George V
Britain's tentatively built diplomatic ties with Tibet received a jolt on 28 June 1913 when four Tibetan boys and their chaperone Kusho Lungshar went to meet George V, King of England and Emperor of India at Buckingham Palace. Lungshar and the boys brought with them an extensive range of gifts and letters from the thirteenth Dalai Lama, inadvertently giving the British government a diplomatic headache: not only could this potentially have been in…
Note on the Cover Artist
Much of my work stems from the question how do digital technologies and new media affect our response to images and texts? Specifically, how is the way that we read, the way that we understand and interact with text, and art, changing in a world of screens, of interfaces, of mediating layers of technology? While viewing or interacting with a piece of digital art, does one become frustrated by the inherent intangibility of the medium? Through vide…
