Are you or anyone you know looking after someone else's child?

Private fostering is when a child is looked after by someone who isn’t their parent or a close relative for 28 days or more, without a formal arrangement with the council or a fostering agency.


Many people don’t realise this is private fostering or that the council must be notified by law.
