Hi a warm welcome to the site. This criteria is from the RCC level 3 course?

In the RCC 3.9 unit pdf it lists factors as

• previous experience of hostile or dysfunctional relationships
• frequent imposed transitions
• trauma
• grief and loss
• disability

For more about these factors & transitions this page of young minds.org.uk may help: http://www.youngminds.org.uk/trainin...ng/transitions

For permanance in care the fosteringnetwork site is most useful: https://www.thefosteringnetwork.org....hat-permanence


and in this level 3 Early Years Educator handbook it tables the potential effects of transitions on page page 61-3 of this EYE handbook

Quote: Short-term effects

Many adults believe that children are able to adapt easily to new situations and so do not take seriously the effect of transitions and significant events, such as moving school, moving home or the arrival of a sibling. While children who experience transitions will, in the long run, be able to cope , there are likely to be short term effects including the following: regression, physical well-being, emotional effects.

Long term effects can include an impact on self-confidence, depression, anger, lack of trust in relationships and difficulty securing meaningful relationships, self harming and abusive behaviours, antisocial behaviours, underachievement.

These feelings of mistrust can be exacerbated by constant changes of worker, the lack of time to form relationships and by professional decisions that are made about the lives of children and young people with which a child or young person does not agree. Furthermore, children and young people may have developed coping mechanisms that result in them not taking opportunities to form relationships through fear of rejection (Reimer, 2010; Care Inquiry, 2013).


To analyse - break the topic down into separate parts and examine each part. Show how the main ideas are related and why they are important.

Hope this helps a little
