Issue details - Foster Carers Charter

The Government launched the Foster Carers’ Charter in March 2011. The Charter was jointly produced by Government, fostering organisations, charities and children.
It is part of the move to improve outcomes for children and young people by working with foster carers who are the main providers of care for them. The Foster Carers' Charter is a way for Brighton and Hove City Council to work together and build professional and respectful relationships with foster carers.
The Charter lays out the values, commitments and expectations of Brighton and Hove City Council when working with foster carers in terms of partnership working, training and supervision, information sharing, fair treatment, communication and decision making. Alongside this are the commitments and expectations of Brighton and Hove’s foster carers in looking after children and young people and working with the council which include respect for children and young people, commitment to learning and development, openness and honesty, working in partnership and communication.
