Publisher's Synopsis
This work for foster carers provides a guide to understanding and implementing aspects of the Children Act (1989). Written in an easy-to-read style with checklists and practical exercises, it encourages carers to work in partnership with the children they are looking after and their families, with the aim of helping them return to their families and homes as soon as possible, if appropriate. The text outlines the importance of working with the children in a very broad way so that the children will learn skills which will help them develop and thrive.
