CARE (Children and Residential Experiences)

CARE (Children and Residential Experiences) is a research and assessment framework designed to understand how living in group homes or residential settings affects children’s development and well-being. It evaluates factors such as the quality of care, stability of placements, and the child's social and emotional growth. By analyzing these elements, CARE aims to improve practices and policies to ensure children in residential care receive supportive, consistent, and positive experiences that promote healthy development and successful transitions back to family or community settings.
