Protective Care + Resource Pack Bundle

Protective Care replaces our previous Safer Caring publication. It is designed to give foster carers the confidence to make thoughtful, balanced decisions about risk, while continuing to provide the warmth, stability, and sense of belonging that all children need to thrive.

This bundle includes a printed copy of the publication, which features practical guidance and useful context, plus a digital resource pack containing two editable templates for each of the Protective Care forms. These are the practical tools you need to implement Protective Care consistently and effectively.

Protective Care is intended to equip foster carers, fostering services and public authorities with an approach that will support children and young people to feel safe, and form part of the overall risk management strategy for foster carers and the children they care for.

“It caused me to reflect on how our current care plan could be improved… all these decisions and plans need to be looked at through the prism of the impact on the child.” – Foster carer
