Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care Vol 15 No 1

In this issue Nazirah Hassan writes about the challenges of carrying out research about bullying and victimisation and Laura Beveridge shares the text of her Care Leavers’ Annual Lecture. There is also the usual mix of peer-reviewed papers, commentaries and book reviews. And we issue a call for papers for a special issue on ‘history’ to be published in December 2017.
