There is limited research around staff's perspectives of psychological formulation within the Children and Young People Secure Estate (CYPSE). The aim of this research was to explore residential staff's lived experiences of utilising and applying formulation into their practice, discover the impact on working relationships with young people (YP) and identify what role formulation has for future practice and policy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nine qualitative semi\u2010structured interviews were facilitated with residential staff in two secure children's homes (SCH) in England.
