Private Fostering Arrangements
Private Fostering Responsibilities
Private foster care occurs when a child under 16 (or under 18 if disabled) is cared for by someone who is not their relative for 28 days or more.
This type of fostering is organised through a private arrangement between parent and carer.
Suffolk County Council MUST be made aware of any Private Fostering arrangements.
