Resulting from collaboration between leading academics and the
national charity the Fostering Network, this book captures the
debates on the provision of foster care in the United Kingdom at
the beginning of the twenty-first century. This collection of
papers offers critical comment on current governmental policy,
reports on empirical research, and offers theoretical reflections
on practice. The context for the policy and the debates is provided
by a narrative that traces the origins of child care from the
Elizabethan Poor Law, and asks questions about the provision of
care in the future. Key themes covered in the chapters: Politics
and policy - the ideological foundations of recent initiatives and
the implications for the care of children and young people Service
delivery - public and private approaches to provision and the
professionalization of foster care Service users - the needs of
children and young people and the barriers to their social
inclusion on leaving care Diversity, identities and perspectives -
kinship care, sexualities and the foster carer's perspective
