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.

Camden has a duty to ensure there is a sufficient number of fostering placements and foster carers with the right skills and experience to be able to meet the needs of all looked after children in the borough.

To achieve this, the Fostering Service has a recruitment strategy in place that sets out how the fostering role is advertised in order to maximise the number of applicants. The strategy also sets out how recruitment is targeted at some groups in order to ensure the pool of foster carers in Camden is as diverse as the children they care for.
