This study has shown that it is feasible to collect reliable data from local authorities in England to describe and partially quantify the foster care services they provide, and the households which supply foster care places. In order to provide this data, however, most local authorities will have to modify both the way they record and the way they store and retrieve information. The former will require changes in practice, the latter modifications to their information systems software. It may take a number of years to build up the staff experience and expertise, as well as the consistency of recording and information retrieval required to achieve full and reliable data at national level
