The Fostering Services National Minimum Standards

The Fostering Services National Minimum Standards set out clear expectations for fostering agencies to ensure consistent, high-quality care for children. They cover aspects like recruiting qualified foster carers, providing proper training and support, safeguarding children’s well-being, and maintaining transparent processes. These standards aim to protect children, promote their development, and ensure foster parents are well-equipped and supported to meet each child's unique needs. Essentially, they serve as a professional guideline to ensure children in foster care receive safe, stable, and nurturing environments.
