To help clarify how we must work together to ensure that the welfare of privately fostered children will be protected and promoted.

Target group: Groups 1-3 Staff in infrequent contact with children, young people and/or parents/carers who may become aware of possible abuse or neglect. Those in regular contact or have a period of intense but irregular contact, with children, young people and/or parents/carers including all health clinical staff, who may be in a position to identify concerns about maltreatment.  Members of the workforce who work predominantly with children, young people and/or their parents/carers and who could potentially contribute to assessing, planning, intervening and reviewing the needs of a child and parenting capacity where there are safeguarding concerns.
