A significant number of children at present are older children, both girls and boys.

Most of these children will have had difficulties in their relationships at home and may have been the subject of neglect and abuse.

The kind of harm a child may have experienced may include sexual, physical or emotional abuse, abandonment or chronic neglect.

Many have had few role models and little encouragement to succeed.
