What is private fostering? An arrangement made between a parent and a private foster carer without involvement of the local authority, to care for a child for more than 28 days. A private foster carer cannot be a close relative (grandparent, aunt, uncle or sibling) but can be someone who is known to the child. Local authorities have a duty to assess and support private fostering arrangements. #privatefostering #PFAD #PFAD24 #awareness #kinshipcare
