  Foster care

Foster caring is an important part of the provision of care for children and young people when home is not an option.

When children are unable to live at home for various reasons, the first choice of placement is with relatives or someone they know but when this isn't possible, the alternative care system relies on individuals and families to open their homes to these children.
