Description
Linnie Price, Judy Ravenscroft and Sandra Nutley report on the perceived effectiveness of a set of materials (the Fostering Voices pack) aimed at disseminating the messages emerging from research in the field of fostering services. Having commissioned a review of the body of research on fostering, the DfES funded production of materials--a combination of video CDs and targeted leaflets--to ensure that the research messages were taken up in practice. Two questionnaire surveys of a range of stakeholders (including social care practitioners, foster carers, young people in foster care, education advisers and managers) and researchers were used to gauge the effectiveness of the pack, including its actual and intended use. The multifaceted Fostering Voices pack was perceived to be a successful and effective mechanism for communicating relevant information and messages, with both the content and format highlighted as particular strengths. An overwhelming majority of stakeholders indicated that access to the pack would change their practice. Key words: Fostering Now, foster care, research evaluation, research into practice, foster care
