Support for private fostering regulation

November 21, 2001 in Child safeguarding, Fostering and adoption, Looked after children

Three out of four visitors to Community
Care‘s website believe it is realistic for social services to
regulate private fostering after a report from British Agencies for
Adoption and Fostering called for more protection for vulnerable
children.

Seventy-four per cent of people said they
believed social services departments could take on this role if the
government decided it should be one of their functions.

This week’s question asks: Are there
adequate facilities to treat young sex offenders in your
area?

There were calls for improved services for
young sex offenders, after a part 8 review into the Dominic
McKilligan case found an inadequate number of places across the
country for their treatment.
