Study title: Restorative Parenting: Delivering Trauma Informed Residential Care for Children in Care

Authors: S L Parry, T Williams, C Burbidge (March 2021)

Halliwell Homes’ Restorative Parenting Recovery Programme (RPRP) is based upon attachment theory, positive psychology and residential trauma-informed care (TIC). Within the RPRP, the child’s attachment figure is their key worker, known as the therapeutic parent (TP), recognising the therapeutic aspect of their role within a TIC approach and the importance of stability and consistency for the child.
