The Fostering Network Scotland welcomes the Scottish Government's response to the Children and Young People Bill consultation, but the charity is disappointed that none of the specific points we raised during the consultation have been addressed. 

A new survey by the Fostering Network has found that the overwhelming majority of children living with foster families in Scotland are in favour of foster carers being paid.

The Fostering Network is calling on the sons and daughters of foster carers and children and young people who have experience of foster care in Scotland, to give their views on what can make foster care better.

A small group of foster carers from across Scotland today met with the children’s minister for Scotland, Aileen Campbell, to discuss a range of issues affecting foster care in Scotland, including the Fostering Links project. Sara Lurie, director of the Fostering Network Scotland and Sarah McEnhill, Fostering Links project manager accompanied the foster carers to the Scottish Parliament.
