Abstract

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).

Given the current world-wide discussion about TRC and its place in the continuum of child welfare services this was an important goal.
