NIK has evaluated the activities of self-government units (Polish: powiaty) related to creation of and support for foster families and supervision of them, as well as those aimed at recruiting persons to provide foster families. The audit covered 24 local family support centres (Polish abbreviation: PCPR) and municipal social welfare centres (MOPS) in the years 2013–2015. The findings of the audit showed that the system for recruiting candidates for foster parents and those organising family children’s homes, and the system for supporting those already existing foster families is inefficient. The number of foster families has been decreasing, and forms of care based on families do not keep up with the needs. One of the reasons behind such a situation is low financial and institutional support for already existing foster families. While it should be remembered that being with families is not only the most beneficial for children, but it is also cheaper than being in care and education institutions.
