TAKE TWO KIDS

PART ONE
Darryl the Dastardly
In many ways, we could not have been more fortunate - though it did not seem like that at the time. We had taken a huge step, and trained as professional foster carers for children over the age of 12 years, who had such a difficult personal history that no home could be found for them.

Working with young migrants?

Anybody out there keen to become involved in an action research project on the integration processes of young immigrants? You will need to be working with young migrants and amenable to participating in a series of seminars with workers from other European countries over the next couple of years. There is a need to get a group of about 20 workers from the UK together in order that we can participate. Funding available. Please contact me, c/o the Fed. and I'll send you the info. Graeme
