Re: Spanking in foster homes

Title: Re: Spanking in foster homes

In the state of NSW in Australia corporal puishment in foster homes is not permitted and is addressed in both the Code of Conduct for carers
http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/capr1996341/sch1.html
which says that a child in foster care must not be "subjected to or threatened with any form of corporal punishment"
and the Standards 
http://www.community.nsw.gov.au/document/nswstrds.pdf 

New legislation to come into force in late 2000 will allow carers to 'restrain' children in certain circumstances. 
See Section 158 of the Children & Young People (Care &Protection Act) 1998 at

Can anyone refer me to sites or research or evaluations dealing with the use

people?
Thank you
