Why should health visitors be concerned with private fostering? First, writes Carol Woollard, because it affects a small but significant number of children, both in London and in county areas throughout England, whose particular health needs should not be ignored. Second, because the Children Act 1989 is bringing in legislative changes which have clear implications for health policies and practices relating to private fostering. It is essential that health visitors be aware of these changes and be able to act on them appropriately.
健康访视员为何要关注私人寄养呢？卡罗尔·伍拉德写道，其一，因为这会影响到一小部分但数量可观的儿童，无论是在伦敦还是在英格兰各地的乡村地区，他们特殊的健康需求不容忽视。其二，因为1989年的《儿童法》正在带来立法变革，这对与私人寄养相关的健康政策和实践有着明确的影响。健康访视员必须了解这些变化，并能够适当地采取行动。
