Private Fostering Briefing

Private Fostering

There is requirement that the Local Authority must be informed of any child who is privately fostered - as they have a duty of care to ensure that the welfare of the child is being satisfactorily safeguarded and promoted.

The Private Fostering Briefing is a hour session to support your agencies understanding of:

1) Private Fostering criteria,

2) the legislation and

3) agencies responsibilities.
