Foster Care Fortnight

EDM number 1443 in 2006-07, proposed by Anne McIntosh on 10/05/2007.

That this House welcomes Foster Care Fortnight and congratulates The Fostering Network for its work in organising the event; recognises the excellent and invaluable work of foster carers and acknowledges that they act as an army of volunteers that care for society's most vulnerable children; notes that there is a current shortage of over 10,000 foster carers in the UK, which must be addressed; and urges the Government to ensure that the White Paper on Looked after Children, expected later this year, tackles the recruitment, retention, and status of foster carers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 78 MPs.
