Children who are looked after are at greater risk of developmental, mental or physical health problems. Research suggests that this population experiences greater difficulties accessing appropriate services. Sharon Robson and Natalie Briant evaluate a training programme that was developed as a multi-agency intervention for foster carers. It aimed to cover a wide range of topics and increase carers' knowledge and skills in order to improve the quality of care provided for young people who are looked after and adopted. A content analysis of participants' responses was undertaken and themes arising from this explored. It was found that their views were generally positive but that the experience of evaluating the training raised a number of issues for the organisers about this type of intervention
