Regarding a reduction in foster placements I think the level of administration and restrictions foster carers have to follow turns a family into more of an institution. They are expected to ignore the needs of their own children to meet the the LA expectations. For example meetings are held after school in the foster carer own homes. The other children in the household are expected to go upstairs as it’s a private meeting. The timing is around the 4.00pm so the other children miss out on their clubs or being able to get drinks etc. These meetings can go on until 5.30/6.00 the other children are feeling deflated as they have not received the attention. In a particularly long meeting my husband stayed in the meeting while I went upstairs to check on the children and take them snacks. The social worker put in a complaint that I had left the meeting half way through. The individual social workers concentrate on their looked after child and the foster families are left to try and keep it as a family. This is just one illustration that highlights the challenges faced by foster carers and most probably they do change into children homes when their children leave or are older. That is because you are trying to live a family life but with the LA rules you are already operating as a children home.

so why don’t the LAC903 returns reflect an overall increase in placement failures; disruption meetings are or ought to be made a data point for capture, no? ….
… maybe, it’s the simple case of foster care placements exceeding their permitted placement levels and converting to care home status….
… either way children are being increasingly treated as cash cows, great eh! ….
