Responsible decisions are continually being made in social work. In
particular the decision to place a child in a foster home can have
far-reaching consequences for their welfare and it is vital that we
make the best possible choice on their behalf. Although in the
1960s thousands of children were boarded out every year no
systematic attempt had yet been made to summarize this experience
as a guide for practice. Thus important decisions lacked the help
which past experience could provide. Originally published in 1966,
this study assembled the past experience of foster care in one
area, analysed it and presented it in such a way that predictions
could be made of the outcome of a potential placement. At the time
it offered an important contribution to the task of providing the
best possible care for children separated from their own families.
Today it can be read in its historical context.
