Views of children and young people in foster care survey: education
No full textThis paper explores the educational experiences of children and young people living in foster care in Queensland. Findings are drawn from the responses of 845 children and 1180 young people to the 2011 Views of Children and Young People in Foster Care survey, which is a rich source of information about children’s and young people’s attitudes towards and perceptions of their own education. Findings relate to educational status, key markers of educational disadvantage including suspensions and exclusions, and specific problems children and young people experience at school, as well as children’s and young people’s enjoyment of school and aspirations for the future. Information about educational support, including Educational Support Plans and support provided by Child Safety Officers and Community Visitors are also presented. Where relevant, comparisons are made between the 2011 survey results and prior surveys conducted in 2006, 2007 and 2009. Relationships between key educational measures as well as relationships to other important measures of health and placement stability are also explored.
The findings suggest that children and young people continue to experience educational disadvantage, including high rates of suspension and exclusion and a range of problems at school including problems with schoolwork, bullying and behaviour and that these difficulties can be exacerbated by the child protection system, for example, through placement instability. However, there are reasons for optimism. Children and young people are overwhelmingly likely to report that they enjoy school, expect to complete Year 12 and that their teachers generally like their schoolwork. Furthermore, over time, the proportions of young people reporting that they have an Educational Support Plan have grown, and, importantly, they are more likely to report that these plans are helpful. Analyses in relation to a number of educational variables reveal that young people with a plan they consider to be helpful fare better. Children and young people were also positive about the important role that CSOs and CVs are able to play in supporting their education.
While educational disadvantage is an enduring problem, the survey findings provide evidence of progress in key areas and suggestions for how continued improvements may be made

A demonstration project in foster care for mentally retarded children, 1971
No full textFoster care is a very important element in the care of children who must for some reason live outside their own homes. Foster care has been proven to be a service which the community can offer to children most nearly simulating the natural home environment. Foster care for the mentally retarded child has been infrequently tried and pushed because of the difficulty on social workers' part in being able to locate foster parents for the mentally retarded child and in being able to work with them. For this reason the proposed project herein concluded is a rational basis by which many children who have not been able to develop their potential can profit from an organized, specialized attempt to meet their special needs. This proposal is offered as an alternative to institutional care for which many children are not able to find relief because of the long waiting lists and the inability of institutional care to meet many of these children's needs and to help them develop to their capacity. Foster care of most nearly simulating the natural home environment, induces the development of the child's fullest potential and under supervision of a social worker and consultants can presumably have his human and specialized needs met in a more humane and less formal atmosphere
