Fostering, adoption and 'looked-after' services

Fostering

Fostering involves looking after a child or young person as if they are a member of your family. In other words doing all the normal things you would with your own children - taking them to school and sharing in their school life, taking them to the doctor and the dentist and helping and participating in their recreational and social activities.

Virtual school

The core purpose of the Virtual School is to drive up improvements in the educational progress and attainment of all children looked after by Croydon, including those that have been placed in schools in other authorities.

Becoming looked after

Residential care for children ensures that the needs of children are met when they cannot live with their own family.
