Placing children

Placing children refers to the process of determining the most appropriate living arrangement for a child who cannot stay with their birth parents, often due to safety concerns or neglect. This decision involves assessing the child's needs and matching them with foster families, relative caregivers, or family members capable of providing a safe, nurturing environment. The goal is to ensure stability, emotional well-being, and the child's overall development while working toward family reunification or permanency plans. Proper placement is a crucial step in ensuring the child's best interests are prioritized throughout their care journey.
