Supports for Parents of Children in Foster Care: Discussion
Ms Siobhan Greene:
I agree with my colleagues about that being a potential model for replication. What is important is that it would be a model that would empower parents. The roles of foster parent and the parent would have to be clearly worked out and that it would empower the parent to parent effectively. It would require thinking to make it effective, rather than just being a case of getting foster carers. It is possible, but it deserves proper thought in order to make sure that it is an empowering experience for parents.
