P: RW Applications

E1: Changes in social care

E2: Key Worker schemes - One person responsible for the provision of emotional care of the infant

L: Increased QoL

P: Specific Sample

E1: Romanian orphans were in extreme situations

E2: Crowding of cots, one carer for every 50 infants at best, and 100 at worst

L: These extreme psychological and physical conditions mean that these results cannot be generalised to explain other forms of privation or deprivation

CP: However, privation is supposed to be an extreme condition in a marginal scenario
