Synopsis

While training and practice standards are now used in many places to enhance, monitor and evaluate the quality of care given to children and young people in out-of-home care, Foster Carers and Foster Parents are often expected to perform miracles without practical assistance. Building from a strengths-based approach to Foster Care, Quality Care in a Family Setting: A Practical Guide for Foster Carers seeks to redress that deficit, offering practical help for Foster Carers seeking to do extraordinary things with the kids for whom they care. Quality Care in a Family Setting, offers theory, practice tips and everyday advice for helping young people in Foster Care develop the strengths and skills necessary to successfully navigate life's challenges
