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的儿童和青年生活的重要组成部分(LACYP)。许多立法、政策、实践和研究都把重点放在“关爱体验”本身，这有别于年轻人的日常生活以及他们与更广泛环境的联系。对于“在看护”意味着什么，仍然缺乏相当大的理解。这往往会导致偏见和耻辱。专门为LACYP设立的小组提供机会，与成年人和年轻人发展网络和关系，并提高认识。对于LACYP来说，过渡可能发生得很早，而且经常经历，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。在学校等社区有意义的参与是发展稳定的人际关系的重要因素。参与和赋权的概念构成了一个生态框架的一部分，该框架将社区背景定位为建立LACYP复原力的核心。LACYP的社区凝聚力和连接性是什么，需要在保护和参与的利益之间取得良好的平衡。成功的互联互通是所有人共同关心的问题。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，以实现动态的互惠互利。

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.
