How many social workers foster children in the UK?
Social workers do not foster children ! Social workers (amongst other duties) ensure the safety of someone (not necessarily a child) assigned to them. In the case of a child - the child would be placed in the care of a family, or foster home - and the social worker would visit regularly to assess the care, needs and well-being of the child.Although a social worker will have some input during the hearing - essentially, it's the court that decides who the child should be best placed with.
Should the court rule that a foster parent be held responsible to transport their foster children to visit the natural parent?
No. The court should not rule that a foster parent be held responsible to transport foster children to visit a natural parent. The duties of the foster parent are governed by a contract between the foster parent and the state. When the court places extra duties and expenses on a foster parent without arranging for payment for time and expenses, the court is placing an undue burden on a particular person. Such is not the duty of the court. The court does not run the foster care program. The Administrative branch of government is assigned that responsibility. The court should not place an unfunded mandate on foster parents.

There are two types of foster children those placed in the custody of a Service Member by a placement agency and those placed by court order?

Conversely, court-ordered placements often involve legal proceedings that establish the necessity of the child’s placement in the Service Member's care. Both types aim to provide a stable and supportive environment for the child, though their processes and legal frameworks differ.
