A temporary arrangement for children in care. We look for short term foster care when parents are unable to care for their child on a temporary basis, usually up to two years.
Short-term fostering is the most common type of fostering. It offers temporary care for children when their parents are unable to look after them.
This arrangement can last for a few weeks, a few months, or even a few years. Short-term foster carers play a vital role in maintaining family connections and supporting court-agreed family time. They arrange visits and provide essential support to children during these critical periods.
In some cases, a child’s plan may evolve from short-term to long-term or permanent arrangements. This transition ensures stability and ongoing support for the child.
