Abstract

The author describes a small-scale project, called Lovin' Care, designed to facilitate love-led practice in children's residential care in England. She provides evidence of its positive impact, on children, their care adults, and the residential organisations involved, and reflects on the potential power for good of a cultural change towards love-led practice in children's care.
