What is Private Fostering?

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Private fostering is when a parent asks another adult who is not a close relative to care for their child under 16 (under 18, if disabled) for longer than 28 days.  It is different to a formal foster placement arranged by social worker employed by Staffordshire County Council.
