Abstract
There has recently been an increasing concern that young people, and especially those in residential care, should be encouraged to express their views, and that the views expressed should be used in improving the care which they receive. The publication of the Who Cares? booklet (Page and Clarke 1 ), and the emergence of ‘Who Cares’ groups and the ‘Voice of the Child in Care’ organisation, is evidence of this concern. In sympathy with these developments has been a study of adolescents' perceptions of social workers, and a part of this research has included a pilot study of the views of adolescents living in two family group homes.
