Decades of research highlight the protective tole of strong, positive, and secure relationships for children and young people at risk, both in the community and in out-of-home care.

Drawing on research from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ghana, India, Ireland, Israel, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United States, the contributions in this collection focus on the residential care setting while offering insights relevant to other out-of-home care contexts, such as foster care and educational residential facilities.
