暂时或长期远离亲生父母照顾的儿童之间保持联系的重要性，现在被认为对他们的心理社会发展非常重要，因此被写入了《儿童法》。这一立场的依据是儿童和亲生父母的权利，以及关于接触的积极影响和缺乏接触的消极后果的研究证据所声称的力量。研究证据的质量进行了审查。它的结论是，无论是接触的有益或不利影响的证据是不强，现有的研究的设计和/或分析包含了一些弱点，排除了明确的研究为基础的指导从业人员。
The importance of maintaining contact between children temporarily or permanently looked after away from their birth parents is now believed to be so important to their psychosocial development as to be written into the Children Act. This position has been argued both on the basis of the rights of children and birth parents and on the claimed strength of the research evidence concerning the positive effects of contact and the negative consequences of its absence. The quality of the research evidence is reviewed. It is concluded that evidence on either the beneficial or adverse effects of contact is not strong and that the design and/or analysis of existing studies contain a number of weaknesses that preclude clear research-based guidance to practitioners.
