Why is it important?

The article shows the key role foster parents have in providing stability, a sense of belonging and hope for young people who have disrupted attachments and who have been exposed to harm over their lifetimes.

Perspectives

I think the article is important because it underlines the key role of foster parents and recognises their important contributions to practice.
