A recent Court of Appeal decision, as reported in the Guardian, has re-affirmed that there should be no discrimination between related and unrelated foster carers.

Rebecca Chapman, a Community Care solicitor at Ridley & Hall commented “It is an important decision which recognises the importance of the services provided by family and friends carers as well as exemplifying the need for local authorities to follow statutory guidance.”
