Fostering

Fostering

Camden's Fostering Service is responsible for providing fostering placements for Looked after children in Camden. The service works in partnership with the North London Fostering Consortium to maximise resources around the recruitment and training of foster carers and to provide mutual support and sharing of good practice with the partner local authorities.

It is essential that Camden carry out checks against any individual who will be providing alternative care to a looked after child on the council's behalf.

Social workers in the Family, Friends and Fostering service who are carrying out assessments for foster carers, kinship carers and special guardians should follow the procedures in the Checks and searches policy to ensure due diligence in order to safeguard children.
