Opposition to a Foster Carer Register
Key Points:
- Stop the misleading portrayal of the 'Register' as a national body for carers. It is not. Upon discovering its true nature, foster carers have expressed their reluctance to participate. Many reported that they initially agreed to join due to misrepresentation, believing it to be a national body.
- Implementing a register will not enhance the status of foster carers nor facilitate smoother transitions between services, despite the claims.
- The primary challenges stem from concerns about allegations, fear, and the competitive ownership of carers and children, not access to the form f.
- Existing DBS checks and assessment processes already provide strong safeguarding measures.
- A register, being merely a database, could negatively impact retention and recruitment efforts, as foster carers are opposed to such a system.
