Milly Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I am trying to write a short essay (OU studies) but so far, have been unable to locate a suitable word/phrase for a 'childrens home'. Although I could find a way around it, by using a selection of other words to describe what I mean, I would really like to know if there is a word. Anybody know if there is one?Many thanksMilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistral Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 At school, when we talk about children who are in residential homes (usually for bevahiour problems) we use "foyer" or even "un foyer de la DASS". We wouldn't use "institution". It sounds too medical. For children who are fostered, we tend to say "famille d'acceuil" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
