What is foster and kinship care?
The role of a foster or kinship carer also involves supporting contact between the child and their family. Children and young people in out of home care tell us that continued contact with their families has a positive impact on how they see themselves and their sense of self-value.
Shared Family Care supports and promotes contact between the child and their family. It is a requirement carers also actively support and promote contact between the child and their family. The goal for a child in out of home care is to be reunited with their family.
