A headline in The Times which read "Christian child forced into Muslim foster care" focussed on the case of 5 year old Christian girl who was put into the foster care of a devout Muslim family.

It included claims the girl wasn't allowed to wear a crucifix on religious grounds.Could this put ethnic minorities off from fostering in future?
