Children and Youth Services Review, 2017, vol. 79, issue C, 198-220

Abstract: Children in care lag behind their peers on a number of outcome measures, including education. Interventions have been developed to help them close the gap with their peers but these have had limited success to date. One possible reason for this may stem from our lack of understanding about underlying processes and mechanisms.
