Abstract:
Recruiting caregivers for children with an intellectual disability who require out-of-home respite or longer-term care is a problem which has challenged service providers for many years. This paper summarises findings of a recent evaluation of Shared Family Care, a foster care program in Victoria for children with intellectual disabilities/developmental delay. Current recruiting is not succeeding in meeting the demand for either respite, short term or long term care. Findings of the evaluation suggest that factors such as use of appropriate media, and running effective recruitment campaigns is only part of the answer. It is also important at every stage to address caregiver satisfaction with the job and employ strategies to find potential caregivers in the community.

Abstract:
Sibling groups placed in out-of-home care are often separated due to the relatively small number of caregivers who are able to care for large sibling groups, as well as the individual needs of the children. This article briefly explores the complexities of sibling placement within the international, national and Victorian contexts. It continues with a description of the Oz Child Sibling Group Placement Program which was implemented in Victoria's Southern Region to place sibling groups of three or more children together in foster care. The results of a review of the program are presented, including referral statistics, placement data and caregiver feedback. The article concludes with the consideration of recommendations for change as a result of the review.

Abstract:
Foster care in Victoria is under strain. As Victoria implements major legislative and service system reforms, we should consider how the future of foster care can be informed by its past. To that end, this paper revisits the document on which Victoria’s current system of foster care was founded, Tierney’s 1973 report ‘Prospects and Tasks in Foster Care’. With reference to that template, this paper examines some of the service system changes that have threatened the viability of foster care, and draws attention to some enduring qualities of foster care that nevertheless are worthy of preservation.

This paper presents the findings of a study into current induction practices in foster care agencies throughout Victoria. Eighty per cent of registered agencies responded to a mailed questionnaire exploring: the means of initial contact for prospective foster families, information and pre-service education sessions, assessment of families and the ongoing relationship between new foster families and the foster care agency.Educational strategies are explored and the issue of worker continuity is discussed in relation to foster family retention and maintaining commitment through early placement difficulties.

Abstract:
Why in times of economic hardship do some families continue to offer to help others in the form of foster care? Can an understanding of foster families improve the targeting of foster programs? This paper presents findings from a study of more than 300 foster families from seven foster care agencies throughout urban and rural victoria. The families who currently choose or are chosen to foster are most likely to be dual parent, stable and settled Australians with an active connection and commitment to their local community and to family life and children. They do not appear to be motivated principally by rational monetary incentives but rather by a mixture of a belief in the benefits of family experiences, a strong desire to have and nurture children, a willingness to share tasks as a family unit, to both give and receive support and a conviction to be of service to others. It is concluded that foster families are not only child and family centred, they are part of active and reciprocal family and community networks that focus upon the needs of children and non-material family values.

Abstract:
The focus of this article is to introduce the community-based adult foster care of older people in Finland. Although adult foster care is a public care service, it is organised in a private home, either in the foster carer’s home or in the older person’s home. The foster carer and the county make a commission agreement. Adult foster care can be full-time long-term care or short-term full-time or part-time care.

Abstract:
Kinship-care placements in Australia are now more prevalent than foster care and are the fastest growing form of out-of-home care in this country (AIHW, 2014). On 30 June 2013, 93% of Australian children in out-of-home care were in home-based care, with 43% of these in foster care and 48% in relative/kinship care (AIHW, 2014). The past decade has seen a greater understanding of children's needs in out-of-home care, with models of therapeutic care showing promise in Australia and internationally. These models, however, are designed almost exclusively for children placed in foster care or residential care, and as such do not consider the unique features of kinship care. This paper will identify the needs of children in out-of-home care, before briefly examining the concepts of therapeutic foster care as a response to children who have experienced trauma. Key distinctions between foster care and kinship care will be highlighted and implications for a conceptual model of therapeutic kinship care discussed.

They are nomad children, hundreds of New York City children who are moved each night from one foster care home to another. These children, ranging from infancy to adolescence, spend most of their days in field offices of the city's Special Services for Children. At night they are shuttled from borough to borough, carrying what few possessions they have in plastic bags. These children have been lost in the maze of the city's foster care system.

Abstract:
Residential care provides for approximately 500 children and young people in Victoria each year, yet the dynamics of providing care within this system have received little scholarly attention, at least in part because it forms a much smaller part of the system than home-based care – in 2014 there were 5,900 children and young people in foster care and kinship care in Victoria. It has long been recognised that, despite being highly traumatised and vulnerable, young people placed in the care of the state are often exposed to further distress, instability and torment because of the nature of the out-of-home care system, and the available literature confirms that this is certainly true in residential care. Central to the care these young people receive, and their experience of being ‘in care’, are the agents through which the care is delivered: residential care workers. This thesis fills a gap in knowledge by examining the perspectives and practice of residential care workers, asking how they understand their ability to support good outcomes for children and young people within the restrictions of residential care settings which are far from perfect. This thesis presents the findings of a qualitative study of interviews with twelve residential care workers that was guided by the principles of grounded theory. Led by the themes which emerged from these interviews, this project examines the pillars of good practice as residential care workers themselves understand them – both those which they can directly articulate, and those which are part of their tacit knowledge. The findings point to three key areas. Using the framework of ‘care’ as provided by Tronto, the three areas that emerged were (i) caring about, (ii) taking care of and (iii) care giving. At the heart of these areas are the concepts of being rooted in genuine relationships, trauma informed practice and connection to the community. These findings point to guiding principles that residential care workers see as helping them to be effective in not only doing their job, but also in providing authentic and personal care to the young people.

Abstract:
Clearly very little is known about the dynamics within foster families and the effects of fostering on children. The intention of this study was to understand what happens in the lives of children during their period of placement in foster homes and it affected them and to explore and describe the experiences of the foster parent. It was learned that there is often a breakdown in the relationship between foster parents and the children they foster, particularly with regards to the gaining of trust, the socio economic status of the foster parents also played a part in the success of the placement. This research has found that substance abuse on the part of the children was prevalent leading to great tension within the households.

Full text
Abstract:
This study explores the notion of resilience and, in particular, its efficacy as a framework to assist and guide professionals in their work with children placed in the care of the State, many of whom have experienced situations of severe disadvantage, including abuse and neglect, prior to their admission to the out-of-home care system. The further distress and/or trauma for children, which is engendered by separation from their families and placement with strangers, is exacerbated by circumstances of transience and instability that many children experience during their care journeys. The study examines the care system as a circumstance of adversity and seeks to find out how specialist practitioners working in the care environment understand the notion of resilience and whether they operationalise the concept in their practice to assist children in care. The study is set within a critically reflective perspective, informed by a hermeneutic process that assists in building a deeper understanding of both the notion of resilience and the care system through the lived experiences of practitioners and interpretation of the literature on both topics. An unanticipated finding that emerged from research discussions conducted with practitioners revealed that their experiences of working within the care system created a sense of adversity for them and challenged their resilience, with many parallels between their responses and their observations of the distress and trauma of children in care. The necessity to understand these practitioners? experiences more deeply led to a further exploration of literature that described the impact of working in such adverse settings. This exploration uncovered the notion of vicarious traumatisation, a phenomenon that affects workers who are in continual contact with the trauma of others. An indepth discussion of this concept is provided outlining its relevance to this study. The implications of the impact of the adversity of the care environment on professionals are summarised in the final chapter of the study together with recommendations in the areas of both practice and research.

Abstract:
Children looked after by Local Authorities are often vulnerable to educational disadvantage in spite of numerous initiatives and interventions (Department for Education, 2015a). Research suggests that parental engagement with learning at home may be beneficial to the educational achievement of children (Desforges & Abouchaar, 2003; Harris & Goodall, 2008). This research investigates the role of foster carers in supporting learning in the home, and considers learning from a relational aspect. The Systematic Literature Review investigates foster carer led home learning. Quantitative analyses considers the effectiveness of home learning interventions in supporting academic attainment, and qualitative analyses explores factors that may impact on foster carer engagement. Six empirical studies are reviewed in total. Findings suggest there is currently insufficient evidence to conclude that carer led interventions have a positive impact on academic attainment. Further research would be helpful, however, given that initial findings suggest a small effect. Qualitative investigations found a number of factors that impact on foster carer engagement with home learning. These factors are complex; one that stood out across all papers was the impact these learning activities had on the relationships between carer and children. This is a relatively small area of research; little is known about foster carer perceptions related to their role in supporting education through home learning. There is also little understanding of how carers perceive their role in supporting home learning to interact with their relationships with children. The empirical research aimed to explore both these areas. Three dyads of foster carers and foster children took part in a self-video project using an approach based on the principles of Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) in a situated research design. The purpose of this was to allow carers and children to view themselves interacting positively during home learning activities. Carers then took part in a semi-structured interview, exploring their perceptions of learning and reflecting on how it impacted on their relationships with the children they look after. Interview data were analysed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The findings suggest a number of concepts related to learning, children and relationships may influence carer perceptions of their role in supporting home learning. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of psychological theory and the wider historical and cultural contexts.
