National Fostering Framework

The National Fostering Framework is a set of standards and guidelines designed to ensure high-quality care for children placed with foster families. It establishes consistent expectations for foster carers, local authorities, and agencies, promoting best practices, safeguarding, and support systems. The framework aims to improve the stability, well-being, and development of foster children by ensuring they receive safe, nurturing, and consistent care across the country. It also provides a common foundation for training, assessment, and oversight, helping everyone involved uphold professional standards and continuously improve foster care services.
