Description

The Foster Care Handbook provides an overview of foster care, highlighting the responsibilities of the foster family, advice on foster care support, policy, and other program areas. The subsections cover the role of a foster family, and how they can work within the system to provide for children in care. The handbook is not intended as policy; rather, it is an extensive information resource on practical everyday issues, which adds to information already provided through training and policy. This guide can be used by new or experienced foster families.
