National Standards for Foster Care: Statements.

 

I am sure many people would be willing and suitable to engage in foster care, yet the system appears to be shrouded in secrecy. Until I started to research the issue, I would not have known where to look or how to become involved. In the past, were priests or members of religious orders involved in placing children in foster care? Did a group exist which found foster carers? Perhaps an advertising campaign would help recruit more carers. While targeting through the health boards has probably been done, does the Minister of State have any other plans in this regard?
