• How do we make a placement both be safe and feel safe?

• What is the role of safety in adult-youth therapeutic relationships?

• What are the future directions for safety research and program development?

• What interventions promote safety in out of home care?

• What do children in care tell us about safety?

• What are the cultural dimensions of safety?

Submissions can be qualitative or quantitative, conceptual, or descriptive. Papers with relevance to practice or policy are also welcome. Authors are strongly encouraged to discuss their specific focus or ideas with the Guest Editors in advance of submission.
