- Conteudo Principal
There are young people who, because they have been in a situation of danger, have been placed in foster homes or foster families in order to be protected. In this section we will address these two types of reception and their characteristics, as well as the rights of children and young people in foster care, absconding and other risky behaviours.
Residential Reception Rights
This document addresses the main rights of children and young people in residential care and answers a number of questions around this measure.
Standards of Quality in Residential Reception, from the perspective of Young people
‘Our lives, our standards’ covers the lives and experiences of a group of young people from the North of England who are or have been hosted. The film is based on NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) quality standards on the well-being of foster children and young people. Eight quality statements are presented and young people talk about each, explaining why they are so important. The film was produced by the NICE Collaborating Centre for Social Care.
Escapes in Residential Reception
In this Guide for young people in residential care, some ideas are shared that can lead young people to flee, what are the risks of this decision, what they can do alternatively and whom to turn to for help.
A Guide to Family Reception
This animation was created to prepare and reassure young people who are integrated into host families, explaining the process and the people involved.
