Extract

In April 2016, an international work group on therapeutic residential care (TRC) met at Loughborough University in England (see Appendix A for the list of 32 participants from 11 countries). The purpose was to plan and endorse a definition of TRC, to develop key principles stemming from that definition and to promote a consensus statement about TRC that had international standing. Given the current world-wide discussion about TRC and its place in the continuum of child welfare services this was an important goal.
