The care children and young people receive in any care arrangement must be targeted to their specific needs. You will be required to respond to a child and young person who has been exposed to the impact of abuse, neglect, and separation from family. To address the impact on the child you will require to have a solid understanding of trauma, disrupted attachment, and the developmental needs of children and young people to address the impact on each child.
