Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care Vol 24 No 2
Welcome to the autumn 2025 issue of the Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care. In this issue we feature a wide range of original research articles, a shorter article and several book reviews on a wide variety of topics linked to residential child care. In the last issue we put out a call for readers to review classic texts that they still use today in child and youth care, and we are delighted to feature two reviews, one of which is for a text published over 60 years ago.
Our next issue will publish in spring 2026.
You can also download your full copy of the Journal.
