What Happens to Siblings in the Care System?

Cathy Ashley and David Roth - Family Rights Group & Kinship Care Alliance

This report investigates the current experience of siblings in the care system in the UK and whether some placement types are more likely than others to enable siblings to be raised together. It also explores how many foster carers are siblings of the children they are raising. A set of questions were sent to all English local authorities under the Freedom of Information Act. Their responses are summarised in this paper.
