| The Fostering Network has published the results of a survey of 1,439 foster families in the UK which shows that in the last two years, 61% of foster carers have cared for children who had previously moved at least twice between homes. 43% had looked after at least one child who had been moved four or more times. 11% of carers had looked after children who had had at least 10 previous placements. The charity warns that this instability is due to a nationwide shortage of foster carers. |
