Provides comprehensive and practical guidance on planning, conducting and completing an evidence-based assessment of prospective foster carers using the Form F (Fostering) in England. The guide is primarily based on Section B of Form F which pulls together information about the applicant – individual profile and family and environmental factors; present circumstances; becoming foster carers. Broadly divided into three sections, which mirror those used in the different parts of Section B, each section of the guide presents a list of trigger questions that can facilitate further discussion and encourage exploration of different areas and suggestions as to how this can be analysed to assess an applicant’s suitability, or not, to foster. The guide includes worksheets to help assessors to plan and keep track of ongoing assessments, and useful checklists about safer caring, completing ecomaps and health and safety issues.
