Here is the first systematic attempt to explore a rapidly growing child welfare service--specialist foster family care--as a viable and vital form of community care for children and youth experiencing a range of problems and needs. The authors explore and clarify the therapeutic potential of the foster family, the resources necessary to implement and maintain successful programs, the diversity of program models and strategies, the establishment of specialized foster care services in public child welfare agencies, and the application to a range of clients, including autistic, handicapped, and sexually abused children. Organized into three sections, this major new volume identifies program perspectives and principles, addresses program issues, and describes practical approaches for delivering services. Contributors highlight a number of issues that will require further attention as specialist foster family care develops. An indispensable guide for a broad range of professionals, including practitioners and managers employed in child welfare agencies and social work educators interested in child welfare policy and practice, Specialist Foster Family Care will also be valuable for undergraduate and graduate social work students and other persons interested in noninstitutional methods of dealing with troubled children and youth.

Most children who are fostered or adopted have some level of contact with their birth family -- whether face-to-face or by letter -- yet most of the time the psychological impact of contact on the child isn't considered. This book explores what attachment, neuroscience and trauma tell us about how contact affects children, and shows how poorly executed contact can be unhelpful or even harmful to the child. Assessment frameworks are provided which take the child's developmental needs into account. The authors also outline a model for managing and planning contact to make it more purposeful and increase its potential for therapeutic benefit. The book covers the challenges presented by the internet for managing contact, unique issues for children in kinship care, problems that arise when adoptive parents separate and many other key issues for practice. Brimming with practical advice and creative solutions, this is an indispensable tool for social workers, contact centre workers, and other professionals involved in contact arrangements or the therapeutic support of fostered and adopted children.

Foster carers look after two-thirds of the children cared for by English local authorities at any one time. The recruitment and retention of these carers is one of these authorities' central concerns. Against this background, Foster Carers examines the joys, sadnesses and strains of fostering, the support carers want and need, and the reasons why they continue or cease fostering. Drawing on questionnaire responses from a thousand foster carers across seven different local authorities, the authors highlight the importance of providing support that: * is adapted to the carers' families * contains the basic elements of reasonable payment, relevant training and reliable social work support * responds sensitively to serious crises and treats carers as part of a team * meets the specific needs of carers such as carers' groups and relief breaks. Foster Carers forms one part of the largest recent study into foster care in the UK. It is an invaluable resource for policy makers and practitioners, as well as local authorities formulating policies for the support and training needed by foster carers, and is essential reading for social work professionals, academics and foster carers themselves.

This ebook reports on the unprecedented and radical step taken by Warwickshire Social Services Department when, in 1986, it closed the last of its children's homes. This book examines the background to these developments, the reasons for them and their consequences. The findings are set in the context of the crisis of confidence in residential child care that occurred in the early 1990's culminating in the Pindown Report on Staffordshire which revealed an alarming catalogue of inhuman and degrading treatment of children in residential care. This research, undertaken by NCB, reports findings that have major national and international significance. The future role of children's homes is in question and this study examines whether foster care, in particular, is more effective at meeting children's needs than residential care. Young people's own views are included and the work is presented very much in the context of the Children Act 1989.
