Primarily for foster carers, but also useful in residential care, this manual - acclaimed across three previous editions - is packed with detailed guidance about looking after children, being looked after, being a foster carer and living in a fostering household.
It aims to:
 enable carers to meet the full range of a child's needs
explain the fostering roles and responsibilities
help all carers across the UK achieve the expectations placed on them and maintain standards
A comprehensive guide that can be called on when just about anything arises, it has been developed:
to help carers make appropriate decisions and answer the many questions children may ask about their time 'being looked after'
help children understand the present, face the future with confidence and, in time, make their own decisions about their life.
