My petition:
Protect people applying to be foster carers in the UK.
To ensure people going through an assessment to become foster carers are protected from potential wrongdoing by a culture of openness, honesty and transparency within the nation’s Children’s Services depts. And where mistakes do happen, those applying are offered a clear route to complain.
(1) Halt all current fostering assessments, to give social services depts a chance to check those applying are happy.
(2) Offer all future applicants a named support worker, who they can turn to if they think an assessment is going wrong. As has been done by ESCC, following a serious complaint about the conduct of one such assessment.
(3) For a break to be inserted in all future fostering assessments, so the welfare of applicants can be checked. As in ESCC.
