Description
"This paper aims to provide background information about the best ways of increasing the number of high quality foster and kinship carers in the NT by answering the following two questions:
1. What characteristics of potential carers, children, environments and systems influence decisions to
become foster or kinship carers and how might these characteristics apply in the NT context?
2. What are the elements of successful recruitment campaigns for kinship and foster carers, and how do
these elements translate to the NT context?" - Introduction,
