Children’s experience of private fostering
The Children's Rights Director reported the views of children who were living with private foster parents in 2005. This new report is a follow-up, small-scale survey to check with privately fostered children how the Government's rules and regulations about private fostering are working out for them. Overall, the children reported improvements in private fostering, although there is still wide variability and incomplete implementation of the new legal requirements.

Life in children's homes
We used two different ways of asking children and young people for their views about life in children’s homes. First, we invited children in different children’s homes across the country to fill in a web survey about their experiences. We asked them to write their own views and ideas without us suggesting any possible answers to them. Second, we visited a number of children’s homes held a discussion with the children and young people.

Life in residential further education
We asked for students’ views by using a secure web survey about their experiences of living in college. We invited residential students from different colleges across the country to fill in the survey for us. We picked the colleges at random from a national list of residential colleges. Altogether, we received survey responses from 149 students from 14 different residential further education colleges.
