Fostering Now brings together authoritative research on foster care in the UK. It provides a succinct overview of a wide range of research projects and highlights the main implications for policymakers and all professionals involved in the fostering process. Drawing on the varied experiences and views of foster children, social workers, foster carers and parents, this book looks at how placement outcomes are influenced by factors such as foster carers' parenting styles, contact with the child's own parents, and the child's gender, ethnicity, age and physical and emotional health. Other important areas examined include care given by relatives, the effects of foster care on education, and what happens to foster children when they return home. Identifying the most significant challenges currently faced by foster care, this book draws out the key messages for policy and practice and offers an important insight into the state of foster care today and how it can be improved in the future. This book is essential reading for social workers, policy makers, academics and foster carers.
