@Family and Friends Care
Child well-being
The evidence about child functioning, although quite limited and mixed, is broadly positive. On a range of measures - health, education, emotional and behavioural development - children appear to do about as well as those in stranger foster care with some studies suggesting they may do better and only a few worse. Farmer and Moyers' findings are remarkably similar for the two groups with the same proportion, for example, (52%) displaying emotional and behavioural problems. Hunt et al report that most children in family and friends placements were doing reasonably well with 47% displaying no problems in any area of functioning and only 19% having difficulties in more than two.
There is little evidence as yet as to how children fare as adults although the only known (U.S) study challenges an excessively optimistic view of the benefits of kinship care. Although the children had displayed higher levels of functioning than those placed with stranger foster carers before and during placement outcomes were broadly similar and there was a higher incidence of criminal convictions, heroin use and prostitution. This may well relate to levels of deprivation and social problems in the areas where the families lived rather than indicating any inherent deficiencies in care. @
