This month, Lifestyle Solutions staff from across Australia came together on the land of the Burramattagal people of the Dharug Nation for CARE Educator training. Facilitated by CARE Consultants Courtney Patterson and Tracey Ashton, participants explored the role of the CARE Educator both within the training room and beyond, with a focus on supporting the implementation of CARE in everyday practice. This group demonstrated a strong sense of collective efficacy, united by a shared commitment to creating the conditions for children and families to thrive. Thank you to these CARE Educators at Lifestyle Solutions for your investment across the week.

We are pleased to announce the release of another paper from the RCCP: Staff Profiles and Caregiving Attitudes in Residential Agencies Implementing the CARE Model: A Cross-National Comparison.

Abstract: Despite being considered a “last resort,” residential care constitutes an essential component of the child welfare system, providing support to children with life trajectories marked by significant adversity. In this context, the implementation of trauma‑informed and evidence‑based models is crucial to ensuring quality care. The Children and Residential Experiences (CARE) model is situated within this approach, guiding staff interventions. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of staff profile and their caregiving attitudes in residential care homes in Australia, Canada, Spain and the United States, using the CARE model as a reference framework. The sample consisted of 4,548 professionals from 47 agencies that have expressed the intention to implement CARE across the four countries. Data were collected at different time points between 2017 and 2025, prior to the model’s implementation. The Staff Survey was used to assess baseline beliefs and knowledge about caregiving practices aligned with the CARE principles. Sociodemographic and occupational variables were also included. A common pattern emerged across countries, with the same domains consistently rated as strengths (Family Involvement and Promote Competence) and challenges (Flexibility). High staff turnover also emerged as a cross-cutting weakness. Australia and Canada showed higher levels of alignment with CARE, even with a lower proportion of staff holding university degrees, underscoring the importance of practice‑oriented internal training. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of implementing trauma‑informed and evidence‑based models, as well as strengthening ongoing training, supervision, working conditions and organizational support to improve the quality of residential care.
