Communities in care: a scoping review to establish the relationship of community to the lives of looked after children and young people

友谊网络和与社区的关系是受照顾儿童和青少年（LACYP）生活的重要组成部分。许多立法、政策、实践和研究都侧重于“护理体验”本身，这与年轻人的日常生活及其与更广泛环境的联系截然不同。对于“接受护理”意味着什么，人们仍然相当缺乏理解。这往往导致偏见和耻辱。专门为LACYP设立的小组提供了与成年人和年轻人发展网络和关系的机会，并提高了认识。转变可能会很早就发生，并且LACYP经常经历，然而，它们可以提供新的机会，并与不同的人建立积极的关系。在学校等社区中有意义的参与是发展稳定关系的重要因素。参与和赋权的概念构成了生态框架的一部分，该框架将社区背景定位为建立LACYP复原力的核心。构成LACYP社区凝聚力和连通性的因素需要在保护利益和参与利益之间取得良好的平衡。成功实现互联互通是所有国家共同关心的问题。关键的挑战仍然是确定如何加强和支持LACYP稳定的社区关系，以实现动态的互利。

Friendship networks and relationships with communities are important parts of the lives of looked after children and young people (LACYP). Much of legislation, policy, practice and research focuses on 'the care experience' itself, as distinct from young people's everyday lives and their connectivity with wider environments. Considerable lack of understanding remains about what being 'in care' means. This often results in prejudice and stigma. Groups set up specifically for LACYP offer opportunities to develop networks and relationships with adults and young people, and to raise awarenesses. Transitions may happen early and be experienced frequently by LACYP, however, they can offer new opportunities and positive relationships with different people. Meaningful participation in communities such as schools is an important factor in developing stability in relationships. Concepts of participation and empowerment form part of an ecological framework which locates the community context as central to building resilience for LACYP. What constitutes community cohesion and connectedness for LACYP requires a fine balance between the interests of protection and participation. Successful interconnectedness is a matter of shared concern for all. The key challenge remains that of identifying how stable community relationships for LACYP may be strengthened and supported to dynamic mutual benefit.
