Foster carers in Scotland are being asked to take part in a new study. Please spread the word

The study aims to explore the unique circumstances and challenges that come with caring for children and young people at a time when they may be vulnerable.

Researchers from CELCIS, in collaboration with Lucia Hargašová, a visiting researcher from the Slovak Academy of Sciences, will be conducting the qualitative study: Relationships in Foster Care Professional Role.

The study aims to understand the complexity of foster care, how foster carers feel about their role, and what a good relationship between a child and a foster carer looks like.

Foster carers are being asked to complete a short questionnaire online.
