Children arriving in the UK without their parents or carers usually go into the care of their nearest public authority and will often live with approved foster carers when there is no suitable family member or guardian to care for them.
This involves providing a safe and supportive home for children who have arrived in a new country without a parent or guardian. These children have often fled their home countries due to conflict, natural disasters, persecution or other forms of violence.
Foster carers for these children offer the much-needed stability and care, and guidance to help these children adjust to their new environment and heal from the trauma they have experienced.
Often, these children speak little to no English so need help from foster carers to support them to adjust to their new environment and culture, whilst also support to help them maintain their identity through promoting their religion, language and heritage.
