Is The System Failing The Foster Care Industry?

There are a distressing number of cases where children are failing to be placed with

appropriate foster care homes because the industry is currently in a state of flux, with the controversy within the government at present some people wonder how long it will be before the system reaches a point of no return.

Increasing numbers of carers are being driven out of the industry through the complete lack of care shown by the government to adequately compensate the carers for their time and effort that they put into rebuilding someone's life.

If the industry continues to drive carers out of foster care then who is going to save those poor lost souls that just need some tender loving care and attention?

Obviously in the current state of economic crisis, there is a need for local government to account for every penny that is spent; however there are certain industries where we can't afford to relinquish the good work that has been put in and foster care is one of those industries.

It is a very challenging profession for anyone to go into and it takes a special person to have the empathy required to support, nurture and rebuild this frail human being who is feeling let down by society and alone in the world.

The government needs to get behind the local councils and support the foster care system, especially after the recent scandals that have been flooding the back pages of the national tabloids about the expenses claimed by some members of parliament for what are clearly non essential items.

We are keen to be seen as world leaders when it comes to the care that we provide to our citizens, we pride ourselves on having a free health care service, income support, medication that is free for the young or elderly and yet we seem quite happy to allow our excellent levels of foster care to slip backwards.

I think it is important to raise the issues that are currently facing the carers in this country and help make a stand against the local and national council's, the general election is only 6 months away, so now is the perfect time to stand up and have your voice heard. There are three major political parties all out there just looking for policies that people are prepared to get behind. Carers in this country can't be expected to do this on a shoe-string budget.
