Summary of Cathy Glass's Cut

Auteure: Everest Media,

Nombre de pages: 50

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I phoned the social services on Monday, and was told that they had an advertisement about fostering Mary. They sent me a single photocopied A4 sheet with pictures of smiling children, and no details about what was actually involved. #2 I was eventually approved to foster, but it took a long process. I was told to describe in fifty words why I wanted to foster, and why I thought I could provide a child with a loving home. I wrote that I wanted to be parents and that I knew how to parent from the examples my own parents had given me. #3 After a two-hour information evening, we were ready to receive our first child. Susan phoned me two days later and said that she would be bringing Jack to us that evening. He’s fifteen, she said. Most of the children we are placing now are teenagers. Don't worry, Jack won't give you any trouble.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The social worker and her colleague were talking about how sad it was that Jamey had been left alone all night, and how his mother had left him alone all night before that. His mother was going to apply for guardianship, and his father never saw him. #2 When I took care of Jamey, he was wearing a nappy. I had to buy him some more, as his aunt and uncle had only brought enough for one child. I was used to having my granddaughter on my lap, and Jamey felt far smaller and less robust than my granddaughter. #3 I had to go into town the next day to buy some more presents for Jamey. I’d already bought a few general presents in case a child arrived just before Christmas, but now I could buy more specifically for him.

She thought of us. #2 I knew that the sand, now mixed with grass, would not be welcomed back into the sandpit by Paula, who liked the sand, as she did most things, clean. I asked Adrian to clean up Topsy and give her back to Paula. #3 The safety checklist for the house itself grew each year. The banister rails on the stairs had to be a set distance apart so that a small child couldn’t get their head, arm, or leg stuck in the gap. #4 When I answered the phone, it was a woman with a Scottish accent who was calling about Donna. She was taking her for a drive, and wanted to move her to a social worker. I agreed to let her do so.

Summary of Cathy Glass's Mummy Told Me Not to Tell

Auteure: Everest Media,

Nombre de pages: 49

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had taken a week off after Tayo left, and before I began respite fostering I had a chance to clean and air out the bedroom. I took in Jemma, a five-year-old who had been with her carers for six months. Paula and Lucy, my daughters aged 16 and 18, were happy to help with Jemma. #2 I was asked to take care of Daisy, a 15-year-old, for two weeks. I knew from my own experience that it was difficult to find respite carers for teenagers, so I was excited to have her stay with me. #3 I had to set some ground rules for Daisy, while at the same time making her feel welcome. I made her a bedtime drink, and while Lucy and Paula took turns in the bathroom, I sat with her on the breakfast stools in the kitchen and gently explained that there were four of us in this house, and we all had to use the bathroom. #4 I had to accept that the social services thought it was best for Daisy, aged 15, to stay with her boyfriend’s parents. I was frustrated that I hadn’t been able to do my job properly and look after her.
