Private Fostering Awareness Day: Breakfast briefing
A child who is cared for by someone who is not a close relative for more than 28 days is living in a private fostering arrangement. All local authorities have a responsibility to raise awareness of private fostering in their area. CoramBAAF has listened to and liaised with members and is delighted to announce this national Private Fostering Awareness Day.
Join Ann Horne and Clare Seth for a free and open access Breakfast Briefing – An Introduction to Private Fostering.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- Key information about Private Fostering: What it is, and who are the children in private fostering arrangements.
- Responsibilities of child-care professionals: Learn about the role of partner agencies, local authorities, parents and private foster carers in meeting the needs of privately fostered children.
- Joining up services: Why professionals across children’s services need to come together to raise awareness for this hidden group of vulnerable children.
PRESENTERS
Ann Horne and Clare Seth are CoramBAAF’s Kinship Consultants. They have both worked in local authorities as social workers and managers, with experience in kinship care, fostering and adoption between them. They co-facilitate CoramBAAF’s Private Fostering Practice Forums.
