Abstract: |
An estimated 250,000 children are living with relatives or friends in England. The Family Rights Group have found that the majority of local authorities do not have a coherent set of policies and procedures regarding assessment and support for these families. This report looks at current research evidence and the legal framework for family and friends care. It then makes recommendations about the principles that should underpin good practice by local authorities working with family and friends carers. The next chapter suggests how these principles should be put into practice to ensure they provide adequate practical support. The final chapter lists useful contacts for family and friends carers are included. |
