National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has launched a free e-learning tool to help practitioners to implement its guidance on attachment in children who are adopted from care, in care or at high risk of going into care. Areas covered are: understanding attachment; causes of attachment difficulties; recognising possible attachment difficulties; supporting children and young people who may have attachment difficulties, their carers and families. 

This guideline covers the identification, assessment and treatment of attachment difficulties in children and young people up to age 18 who are adopted from care, in special guardianship, looked after by local authorities in foster homes (including kinship foster care), residential settings and other accommodation, or on the edge of care. It aims to address the many emotional and psychological needs of children and young people in these situations, including those resulting from maltreatment.
