Scoping review:Improving the emotional and behavioural health of looked after children

This study aims to identify the scale and scope of the evidence base in the literature for three key review questions:

• What are LACYP’s views on what constitutes EBH and how do they compare with those of policy makers, children’s services personnel and independent sector providers?
• What do we know about the accessibility, acceptability and effectiveness of policies, services and interventions to improve EBH initiated by central, regional and local government and the independent sector for LACYP?
• What do we know about the contribution made to improved EBH of LACYP by the attitudes, skills and abilities of foster, residential and kinship carers and birth families and interventions to support this contribution?
