First published in 1999, this work draws together a multi-national collection of papers, and aims to stimulate the development of policy and practice in this often neglected area. It aims to offer examples of good social work practice, informed by relevant theoretical insights; to give a voice to kinship foster carers and young people so that practice can be informed by an understanding of their experience; to share the results of current research; to highlight issues for policy makers; and to place the issues in the wider international context of developing social policy, ideology and social change. There are contributions from the UK, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, the US and New Zealand.

This program, companion software to the text "Statistical Power Analysis, Second Edition, " includes the following features: * Spreadsheet Input. Data may be entered by means of a spreadsheet interface. As any cells in the spreadsheet (Mean, SD, N, Alpha, Tails, etc.) are modified by the user, the value of Effect Size and Power are simultaneously updated. * Graphic Input. Alternatively, data may be entered by means of a graphic interface. Cursor keys are used to modify graphs of the group distributions, and the value of power is updated in response. * Active HELP Screens. In addition to providing instructions and explanations, the HELP screens function as worksheets which enable the user to compute various parameters and return these values to the program. * Simulations. The program can run on-screen Monte Carlo simulations, repeatedly drawing samples from a user-defined population and testing each sample for significance. Useful for teaching! * Tables and Graphs. The program creates both tables and graphs of power as a function of N, Effect Size (Mean Difference, Correlation, etc.) and Alpha. Interface with graphics programs generates presentation quality graphics. * Procedures. The program produces power analyses for designs using t-Tests, Correlations, Proportions (Chi- square with or without Yates correction), Oneway and Factorial ANOVA/ANCOVA, and Multiple/Hierarchical regression. The program runs on any IBM or compatible computer; all functions work properly on monochrome as well as on color monitors. A 185-page manual is also available with the software.

This book is the first to provide strategies for effective advocacy and placement within the foster care and kinship care systems. It also takes a rare look at the dynamics of the foster and kinship relationship, not just among children and the agency workers and service providers who intervene on their behalf, but also between children and those who take in and care for them as permanency develops. Drawing on their experience interacting with and writing about the institution of foster care, Mitchell Rosenwald and Beth N. Riley have composed a unique text that helps practitioners, foster parents, and relative caregivers realize successful transitions for youth, especially considering the traumas these children may suffer both before and after placement. Advocating for a child's best interests must begin early and remain consistent throughout assignment and adjustment. For practitioners, Rosenwald and Riley emphasize the best techniques for assessing a family's capabilities and for guiding families through the challenges of foster care. Part one details the steps potential foster parents and kinship caregivers must take, with the assistance of practitioners, to prepare themselves for placement. Part two describes tactics for successful advocacy within the court system, social service agencies, schools, and the medical and mental health establishments. Part three describes how to lobby for change at the agency and legislative levels, as well as within a given community. The authors illustrate recommendations through real-life scenarios and devote an entire chapter to brokering positive partnerships among practitioners, families, and other teams working to protect and transition children.

A significantly greater proportion of African American children are in foster care than children of other races and ethnicities relative to their share of the general population. Given this situation, this report analyzes the: (1) major factors influencing their proportion in foster care; (2) strategies states and localities have implemented that appear promising; and (3) ways in which fed. policies may have influenced the proportion of African American children in foster care. This testimony is based on a report issued in July 2007 which included a nationwide survey; a review of research and policies; state site visits; analyses of child welfare data; and interviews with researchers, HHS officials, and other experts. It includes updates where possible. Charts and tables.
