Foster carer reviews
Reviews of foster carers have a key role in evaluating foster care practice and offering the opportunity for improving the quality of foster care provided. They are governed by regulations and require an assessment of whether or not a foster carer and their household remain suitable to care for foster children and if their terms for approval are still appropriate.
There is surprisingly little published about foster carer reviews, other than that which is within regulations, standards, guidance and codes of practice. This pioneering and informative Good Practice Guide sets out the process and practicalities and makes recommendations for good practice. It makes an invaluable contribution towards establishing good, evidence-based practice in conducting foster carer reviews.
Undertaking a foster carer review
This guide explores the legal framework behind foster carer reviews and offers advice on how to conduct the review process, looking at actions that agencies should take before, during and after a foster carer review meeting. Each part of Form FR is considered, with information on how best to use each section, along with an exploration of practice issues that should be taken into account by supervising workers. Separate chapters look at good practice principles when reviewing foster carers’ health, and achieving the Training, Support and Development Standards.
