Looking after someone else's child: Private fostering

兔子先生 for children and young people

A lot of children and young people don't realise they are in a private fostering arrangement. If you think you are, you must let the 兔子先生 know.

Parents and carers are legally required to tell the 兔子先生 they are part of a private fostering arrangement.

The 兔子先生 will work with you, your parents and carers to make sure that the best possible arrangements are in place for you. This includes:

  • listening to what you want
  • arranging for a social worker to support you and your carer(s)
  • helping to make sure that your racial, cultural, linguistic and religious needs are met
  • offering advice to everyone involved on what will happen next
  • offering parenting support to your carer
  • helping to bring families in crisis back together
