dc.descriptionThanks to the children, and their birth and foster families, who took part in this study. Thanks to Cathie Greig, Adelle Neave, Anni Molloy and Juliana Lovato for recruitment and retention; Sharon Graham, Anne Swartz and Fiona Lettice for offering their expertise by experience; Udita Iyengar and Lynn McMahon for Trial Management; Irene O’Neill, for trial administration; David Walker, John McHugh and Mairi Warren for data management; Jaycee Pownall for Figure design; our Trial Steering Committee (Professor David Cottrell, Dr Christine Puckering, Ms Fiona Lettice and Professor Stavros Petrou), our Data Monitoring and Ethics Committee (Professor Sheila Bird, OBE; Dr Shubulade Smith, CBE, Dr Helen McTier), our research nurses (Efisia Sais, Caroline Carlisle, Charlotte Mceleney, Kirsteen Paterson and Nadia Palma) for persistent and supportive data collection and to our social work and judicial colleagues for their strong partnership throughout. We are grateful to both the Chief Scientist Office of the Scottish Government and NSPCC for funding the feasibility phase of the study. The funder of this definitive RCT (National Institute for Health Research, PHR 12/211/54) had no role in trial design, implementation, data analysis, data interpretation, or publication of findings. This paper represents independent research in part funded by the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care. We are very grateful to NIHR for continuing to support the study through many challenges.en
