About this handbook
The best place to start. It explains what foster care is and why it matters, and how children come to be looked after. It shows that there is no typical foster carer: carers can be single or in a relationship, working or not, and from any background. It also covers how carers work with the team around the child, with the child's own family, and with their own family and friends.
What it covers
- What foster care is, and the different types
- Why and how children come into care
- Who can be a foster carer
- Working as part of the team around the child
- Records, plans and ongoing learning
- The seven areas of a child's development
