Somebody else’s child – everyone’s responsibility – Safeguarding privately fostered children
Conference
In 1997 Sir William Utting described private fostering as
‘the least controlled and most open to abuse of all the
environments in which children live away from home’. No–one
knows for sure how many children may be privately
fostered in the UK. The last estimate was as long ago as
2001, when the Department of Health put the figure at
around 10,000.
The Children Act 2004, the National Minimum Standards
for Private Fostering and the Children (Private Arrangements
for Fostering) Regulations 2005 require local authority
children’s services and health and education services to co–operate
where children are privately fostered.

Improving the accessibility of health services for young people
Conference
The theme of this conference comes from evidence which suggests that looked after young people are more vulnerable than their peers to problematic health issues including alcohol and other substance misuse, and risks to their sexual health.
