A child in placement
Their welfare leads every decision.
If you are caring for a child, a protocol meeting is arranged with their local authority, your current fostering service and Organic Fostering. The group considers the care plan, relationships, support and whether transfer is in the child’s best interests.
No move should create avoidable uncertainty for the child. Communication, timing and continuity are planned carefully before a formal transfer takes place.
