| description | The number of children in residential care in England has increased over recent years. Studies have shown that these children often have poorer emotional wellbeing and social outcomes compared to their peers. It is therefore crucial that the care these children receive is informed by the child’s own needs. Strengths-based measures seek to use a collaborative approach to assess a young person's areas of strength, and to use these to help the young person during times of adversity. The current research sought to systematically review existing strengths-based measures used in residential care settings. Results showed that there were four measures in total, including strengths-based questions. Psychometrics and the usability of these measures are discussed. |
