Proceeding contribution from Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 17 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].


Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

Is the situation that, technically, they will not be fosterers but former fosterers? Is it that they are in the position of befriending persons who have been in care but are not in any way in loco parentis in the eyes of the law? Perhaps to regard them as ““befrienders”” and former fosterers would be more accurate.
