FOSTER CARE NEEDS MORE MONEY
The Fostering Network and the British
Association for Adoption and Fostering
are calling on the Government to invest
an extra £748m in foster care services.
A new study shows a shortfall of at
least 10,000 foster carers across the
UK which means lack of choice for
children and placement disruption.
The extra expenditure would address the
crisis in recruitment and retention of
foster carers.
It would also help ensure children were
provided with high quality care.
