Government pledges 10,000 new foster care places in England
Rule changes aim to create thousands of new foster places and help full-time workers.
The proposals will also offer help for people to make home improvements, such as extending their homes, and increase practical day-to-day support for families through schemes like the Mockingbird programme, which is run by the Fostering Network. It brings groups of foster families together so they can provide advice, support and respite care for each other, like an extended family.
