Professor Nina Biehal teaches at the Department of Social Policy and Social Work at the University of York and was formerly a social worker. She has conducted many studies of children and young people in care or at risk of entry to care.

She is particularly interested in outcomes for children in care. She is currently working on three studies: a comparative study of child protection policy, systems and practice in three European countries, a study of children adopted or in long-term foster care in Scotland and a study which is comparing outcomes for abused and neglected children supported at home to those for similar children who enter care.
