About this handbook

Foster carers never work alone. This handbook explains who is in the team around the child, how care plans, placement plans and reviews work, and how children take part in decisions about their own lives. It covers family time with parents, brothers and sisters, confidentiality, and the part your own children play in fostering. It ends with a short true or false quiz on fostering and the law.

  • Who is in the team around the child
