SUMMARY The variety of provision for deprived and handicapped children offers rich material, for research into factors affecting the functioning of complex organisations, and into environmental factors affecting child development. Recent advances in knowledge have come about because of a clearer definition of problems, and because of the development of “indicators” of handicap and of quantitative measures of institutional functioning. Significant associations have been shown between (1) certain aspects of the formal organisational structure of institutions, (2) child care practices employed by staff and, (3) the behaviour of the children in residence. Studies rooted in practical issues but which also explore theoretical questions can make a significant contribution to social policy and to the science of child development.
