The first is that this handbook is specifically aimed at foster andresidential carers who are looking after children aged 11 and under. Andthe second is that the book includes up-to-date information about thechanges in legislation that have taken place since 2000.
The aim of the book is to help carers work towards achieving the fiveEvery Child Matters outcomes for the children in their care; namely tohelp them be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve success, make apositive contribution, and achieve economic wellbeing.
One of the things that I particularly like about the handbook is the useof plain English. The book provides clear explanations of legalterminology and jargon, which often trip off the tongues of socialservices' staff with ease, but can leave a foster carer totallyperplexed.
