| Free text | Report on an innovative scheme: Community Alternative Placement Scheme (CAPS) set up by NCH Action for Children as an alternative to secure care for young people with severe difficulties, and in response to a Scottish Office report pointing out the need for such a service. In evaluating the outcomes of this experiment over a number of years, the authors discuss different aspects of placements and come up with a generally positive view, while emphasizing the importance of support systems and communication established. |
