Abstract

This thesis is composed of three key parts, each part is divided into sections and further subsections as appropriate. The three parts are: a major literature review; an empirical study; and a critical appraisal. Part 1 includes a detailed summary of, and critical engagement with, existing relevant literature. This focuses on literature related to: children in care and the outcomes they experience; theoretical underpinnings of those outcomes; the voice of children in care; and the role of educational psychologists (EPs). This section concludes by outlining the rationale for the current study. Part 2 is an account of the current study. A brief summary of the theoretical rationale will be provided, followed by a detailed account of the methodology and resulting methods used within the study, including why they were chosen. Results of the study are presented and discussed, with conclusions drawn and relevance to future EP practice as well as implications for the wider knowledge base considered. Part 3 provides a critical appraisal of the research study undertaken, specifically engaging with strengths and weaknesses of the study, as well as reflections on the ontological and epistemological stances taken. This section will also consider dissemination of research findings to further inform future research and practice.
