The main aim of the study was to assess the extent to which the Family Placement Regulations have been implemented by family link services, to evaluate the impact regulations have had, and in particular to see whether they improved practice in placing children with disabilities. The study was carried out in two stages. Initially, a postal survey was conducted with all family link services for children in England and Wales. The second stage involved a detailed study of six family link services to see how they were operating under the Children Act. Recommendations are made.
