Out-of-home care is provided to children and young people who are unable to live with their own families. Foster carers take on the responsibilities of a parent for a period of time, to provide a safe family environment for children and young people needing care.
Children and young people may be placed in out-of-home care for many reasons.
Care is usually provided by foster carers but can also be in residential care homes and sometimes other arrangements. All of this care is called out-of-home care and is regulated by the Office of the Children's Guardian. We have standards of care that agencies providing or supervising care are required to meet.
The standards include that children remain connected to significant people and places in their lives.
