A Guide to Care Words for Children in Foster Care

• When a foster carer is granted enhanced
rights for foster carers by the court, they
can provide consent for the child/young person
and update the social worker. A foster carer
can apply to the court for enhanced rights for
foster carers once the child/young person has
lived with them longer than five years, and once
everyone agrees with it.
