Foster carers, also called foster parents, invest invaluable time and energy in providing a safe home environment for foster children. Fostering is frothed with challenges of various kinds. Yet, generally, foster carers affirm that fostering is a most rewarding work. ?Putting You in the Picture?: Foster Carers Speak, is a small-scale research project that provides readers with insight into the foster-care experience, as seen from selected foster carers? perspectives. It highlights inspiring experiences of how foster carers are able to make positive, life-changing differences to foster children's lives. The book also reports on participant foster carers? views on the ?Staying Put? initiative and makes practical suggestions to social workers and Local Authority (LA) officials. These two groups, as well as teachers, head teachers, foster-care professionals and concerned citizens will find this book quite informative. It is clear from all the ?research conversations? undertaken, that fostering is a demanding work of selflessness and love.
