Private Fostering

'Private Fostering' occurs when a child or young person is being looked after by an adult for 28 days or more as part of an arrangement between a parent and a carer. It only applies where the child or young person is under 16 years old (or under 18 years if they have a disability).

If the adult is a close relative (i.e. step-parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle) the arrangement is NOT Private Fostering
If the arrangement is made by the Local Authority, it is not Private Fostering
