Design of the research; manager's perspectives; categories of children's homes and their residents; daily life in children's homes; staffing; quality of care in children's homes.
Children's Homes Revisited is written in an easily accessible style and each chapter has a useful summary of the main points. The writing also has a dash of humour, usually at the authors' expense, which brings to life the issues and difficulties encountered. The research methods are set out in some detail and throughout stress the efforts to involve children and young people in the process.
