There has been considerable interest in the association of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and health and social care outcomes in adulthood. One way of thinking about the needs of looked after children is through an Adverse Childhood Experiences lens as looked after children have commonly been exposed to very high rates of ACEs. This paper makes the case that the association between exposure to ACEs and poor adult outcomes in the general population is heightened in looked after children and care leavers who have the same outcomes as the general population, but more often and at an earlier age.

Editorial. Sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with unsuccessful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the third leading cause of death in industrialised nations. Up to 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are witnessed by family members, friends and other bystanders. A greater percentage of cardiac arrests in infants are likely to involve first responders who are the child’s family members or other close caregivers. There is considerable rescuer variation in compression treatment styles, as shown in figure 1.1 When compared with adults, relatively few CPR data exist regarding treatment of children during cardiac arrest. As a result, internationally agreed CPR guidelines have been developed with data often extrapolated from adults or animal studies.2.
