Best Practice Guidance: Responding to Allegations Against Foster Carers

This guidance is being circulated as an interim document to enable the best practice recommended in it to be tested out across Scotland. There is a commitment by the Scottish Government and The Fostering Network to review the document after a period of six months to ensure that it is comprehensive and clear and to identify what needs to be changed to improve the final document. That review will also inform the production of guidance about responding to allegations in the other main settings where looked children may be placed.
