Although financial differences and the means testing issue definitely make remaining a kinship foster carer the better option for us and many other foster carer I feel this report doesn’t put enough emphasis on the loss of other support. Some carers have had such awful experiences with social workers that they are only to glad to have them out of their lives but our kinship children have suffered the same issues of trauma, neglect and in some cases of abuse as children in main stream foster care. This has an ongoing effect as they develop. The level of support for these children needs to continue if they are moved to SGO. Regular means testing takes place under SGO but no assessment of the child’s development or mental health which to many of us seems wrong. Often it takes years for problems caused by early trauma, neglect or the effects of alcohol and drugs during pregnancy to spear and carers feel very isolated and abandoned by social services. Had we not been still fostering when our youngest grandchild started to struggle we would have had no idea that Attachment issues were at the heart of problems.
