Nutt, L: Lives of Foster Carers Private Sacrifices, Public Restrictions

'For any person considering becoming a foster carer, this (book) would be invaluable as it explains how social policy has developed in relation to childcare in the UK. For practitioners and fostering trainers, this will provide real insight into why people become foster carers, the concerns they have and how to address these.' - Professional Social Work Overall, this book considers fostering from the service provider's point of view in a succinct and straightforward manner. It would be particularly useful reading for placing social workers, specialist social workers and panel members, as well as new foster carers and the trainers of foster carers.
