Details

Fostering is a temporary care arrangement that provides children under 18 years of age in need of a safe, stable and nurturing home. Children are placed on the Fostering Scheme due to welfare reasons and a lack of alternative kinship care arrangements.Foster parents will treat the foster children as their own during this period of time – ensuring that their physical and emotional needs are met, attending to their medical needs (if any), and providing adequate guidance and supervision to these young children. They are expected to support meetings between the foster children and their natural families as part of the plan to reintegrate the foster children with their natural parents. Training will be provided for the foster parents to support the foster placements.
