Private Fostering Awareness (England)

Many children live with family friends or distant relatives for weeks or months without anyone realising this is “private fostering” – an arrangement the local council must be told about. This course explains what private fostering is, who must notify the council, what the council does, and why professionals who work with children should spot and report these arrangements.
