Abstract: |
The Government make clear that foster carers are authorised to make everyday decisions about their fostered child wherever possible, within the legal framework. Care planning, placement and case reviews underline the importance of social workers liaising closely with parents, foster carers from the start of a foster care placement, to enable proper planning to take place about who does what. This handbook has been written for child care social workers, foster carers and supervising social workers. It highlights key legislation and statutory guidance and contains guidance about good practice in relation to delegated authority when children live in foster care. The Handbook is both a practice guide and a tool to help those most closely concerned with the care of young people to talk to each other about who does what when a young person is fostered. It has been written to give social workers greater confidence about discussing parental responsibility and delegated authority and to enable foster carers to play a more informed and proactive role in planning meetings and reviews. |
