My Family Fosters: a handbook for sons and daughters of foster carers

This handbook provides children whose family has chosen to foster with answers to the many questions they have. In straightforward language, it explains what fostering means, and why children and young people may be in foster care. It explores some of the concerns sons and daughters may have, and suggests practical ways they can deal with the difficulties they may face.

Topics include:

- Making changes at home
- Coping with difficult behaviour
- School and friends
- Safer caring
- Secrets and disclosure
- Sources of support

The handbook has been developed with input from sons and daughters of foster carers accross the UK
