This report provides detailed information about the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW) findings on fostering services in Wales. The picture overall was of fostering services in Wales maintaining a similar level of compliance with regulations as in previous years, with some moderate improvements in some areas. As last year, there was no formal enforcement action in fostering services within the independent sector. However, required improvements highlighted this year include ensuring foster carers had all the necessary information about the children placed with them, and matching placements to children's particular needs. Fostering service providers had improved their compliance with regulations in respect of: the provision of a statement of purpose; the provision of a children's guide and some of these are of a good quality; the suitability of the manager, particularly in respect of the requirement to hold a management qualification and undertake management training; the quality of respite and short term placements; and the support provided to carers by independent and voluntary organisations. Further improvements are necessary in: recruiting appropriate numbers of carers with a range of skills and experience in order to identify and select carers who can meet the needs of individual children; and providing foster carers with all the necessary information about the children placed with them so that they are able to meet these children's needs and to ensure that they are aware of and prepared to meet the particular needs and challenges of the children placed with them.
