This article reviews research on residential care and other services for troubled children in Flanders, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. We begin by looking at Flanders and the Netherlands. This includes an account of the organization of services and a critical evaluation of initiatives resulting from the growing dissatisfaction with residential care over recent years. We then compare the evidence from these two countries with the situation in the United Kingdom. Notwithstanding important differences, there are clear similarities in the issues surrounding the residential care of children in the three countries. We conclude by outlining likely future developments in residential child care.
