Private Fostering - What happens next?

Social services must be satisfied the arrangements are in the best interests of the child.

This doesn't mean they have to be perfect, but they will stop a placement if they consider it isn't in the child's best interests. This would be discussed with you and the child's parents.

So.....

• Are you a Private Foster Carer?
• Are you a parent of a child who is being looked after by a Private Foster Carer?
• Are you being looked after by a Private Foster Carer?
• Are you aware of a Private Fostering arrangement?
