Fostering better care
Fostering better care, suggests that, in many parts of the world, further efforts are needed to ensure that foster care is a suitably used option open to a wider range of children. This paper examines elements that must be in place to ensure that foster care is effective, including legislative frameworks and a trained child welfare workforce. It considers principles for good practice in foster care, with a particular focus on examining how such principles can be applied in resource constrained settings. Throughout the paper, it is argued that locally appropriate models of foster care must be developed that do not blindly follow Western practice.
