Hi,
Looked After/Care Status - children in care have less opportunity to make positive relationships with key figures. They are more vulnerable, having already experiences the negative experience of being separated from familiar figures. This can affect their ability to relate to others and evidence attachment problems/disorder. This can lead onto communication difficultites which involve showing emotions aggresively or inappropriately causing withdrawal and isolation.
Education - this is a right of every child under the UNCRC. The opportunities education provides are ways a child or young person can see will help them to achieve success and prosperity in their lives, enabling solutions to be seen for when problems arise. Parent's education and their feelings towards education impact on how a child sees it. This cultural factor affects the child's attitude to learning in particular settings, how they undertake homework and handle expectations a school places on them.
