Child Care at the End of the Millennium

Donal Giltinan¹

Abstract: What is the rhetoric and what is the reality of child care in the 1990s? Donal Giltinan questions how young people are faring in Scotland under a system which, he argues, is structurally unjust, where social welfare is governed by market principles, and in which the justice system is outdated and flawed.

Foster care in the UK, especially England, has developed a broad base of service delivery. No longer an almost exclusively public sector activity, foster placements and related therapeutic and educational services are increasingly located in the non-governmental sector and delivered by independent fostering providers (IFPs). As this sector has grown, so too have contracting arrangements between IFPs and local authority purchasers, most of whom have faced considerable difficulties in recruiting and retaining sufficient numbers of foster carers for their looked after children. With the strengthening policy shift towards commissioning, different contracting models are emerging. These are described with reference both to recent studies and a broader critique of relevant legal, policy, ideological and managerial developments in order to speculate about the future of a mixed economy of foster care.
