Sumario: | Using interviews with over sixty fostered adolescents, their social workers and foster carers, Fostering Adolescents builds up a picture of the challenges faced by both carers and the young people themselves, from planning and preparation for a placement to the impact of foster carer strain. It highlights overlooked factors affecting fostering placements, such as the significance of peer relationships and the role of foster carers' children, and considers which supports and services are vital in maintaining placements. Based on the findings of research commissioned by the Department of Health. |
