520	|aThis policy study was comissioned by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples following testimony which identified foster care accreditation standards as a critical factor in the high rate of cross-cultural placements for Aboriginal children, leading to a loss in connections with family, community and culture. Such placement patterns have been described as contributing to poor adjustment outcomes for many of the children, as having adverse effects for Aboriginal families and communities who have experienced these losses, and as reflecting the goal of assimilation of Aboriginal culture by the dominant society. While the preferred goal of in-cultural placement in child welfare is now widely articulated, cross-cultural placement remains a persistent practice in many jurisdictions. This review is designed to examine the role of accreditation standards in foster care as a barrier to increased Aboriginal care for Aboriginal children, identify other related barriers which must be addressed, and to explore possible strategies for addressing this problem.
