Dr Gertrude Shotte is a lecturer at Middlesex University.
She became interested in foster care and foster-care issues about seven years ago when she was introduced to the Lahrichi family, including the foster children. Her preoccupation with foster-care issues led her to examine the Department for Education (DfE) material on foster caring, the fostering legislation for United Kingdom and research work on concerns in foster care. Her enduring interest in children and their education has sustained this passion.
