Supports for Parents of Children in Foster Care: Discussion

Ms Siobhan Greene:

It also really important for us to capture what the service cannot do and the needs it cannot meet. It is an advocacy and information service for the parents of children in care. There is probably a whole other service to provide specialist therapeutic supports for parents of children in care that is badly needed, but which we are not here to talk about today. We are also hoping to capture some of what we are not able to do in the research, to try to advocate for those needs to be met.
