<p>The department closely monitors data and research in trends relating to the recruitment
of foster carers. Recognising the urgency of action in placement sufficiency, we will
prioritise working with local authorities to recruit more foster carers. This will
include pathfinder local recruitment campaigns that build towards a national programme,
to help ensure that children have access to the right placements at the right time.
As the Care Review recommends, the department will focus on providing more support
throughout the application process, to improve the conversion rate from expressions
of interest to approved foster carers. More information on foster care placements
can be found here: <a href="https://childrenssocialcare.independent-review.uk/final-report/"
