Government Pledges to Reverse Decline in Foster Carers

Our reaction and recommendations

Step by Step welcomes the Government’s announcement that they are aiming to reverse the decline in foster carer numbers. The proposed focus on removing barriers, supporting flexibility, and developing new models of care is encouraging, and we recognise the potential these reforms have to create a more inclusive and effective system.

We suggest further measures the government should consider.
