Results are reported from the first of three rounds of testing associated with a longitudinal study comparing the educational progress and behaviour of a group of foster children with that of a “control” group. The latter comprised youngsters who have never been in care but whose families have received social work help. The educational attainment of both groups was generally found to fall below the national average. Both groups also manifested relatively high levels of behavioural problems, although such problems appeared more in evidence among the social services group. Data which describe the current home environments of the two groups, and which may subsequently help to account for their respective levels of educational progress, are also presented.
