CARING FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLEGabrielle Elmes (497977) Health + Social Care Level 3 (Year 2) 20/1/2021
UNIT 10 TASK 2
P2- Outline the arrangements for providing quality care for looked after
children and young people
TYPE OF CARE/PROVISION CHARACTERISTICS
Temporary/permanent care Temporary or permanent care can be
arranged but a number of assessments
and procedures have to be completed
before the care of a child or young
person can become permanent. For
example: A child who has been in foster
care for an extortionate amount of time
and whose parents of birth are deemed
incapable of caring for them.
Foster Care Foster care is often a short-term
arrangement but can become long-term
in some circumstances. Foster carers
are checked by the local authority to
ensure they are both suitable and
competent to provide care in their own
homes. They need to be adaptable as
they might care for a baby one day and
then a 10 year old the next week.
Children and young people in foster
care can sometimes present complex
and upsetting problems.
Respite care Respite care is usually decided in
advance and in a short-term
arrangement. Often the child/young
person has learning difficulties and/or
disabilities from which the family needs
a break from. Respite care involves a
child spending some time in a
residential establishment that will cater
to their specific needs.
Residential Care A child or young person may be taken
into residential care for numerous
reasons. Possibly as respite for a family
unit or in a temporary emergency
situation for example an abusive family
situation. This may be arranged for a
1
, child or young person with behavioural
difficulties so that specialised staff can
interact with them and help.
Adoption Adoption is a formal and legal process
in which the child or young person
becomes a permanent member of a
family other than their natural birth
family. Sometimes parents give up all
responsibility for a child and put their
child or young person up for adoption.
Adoption can also be a result of the
death of a child’s parents.
PLANNING FOR CARE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CHILD/YOUNG PERSON,
PARENTS AND OTHER AGENCIES
It is in the best interest of the child/young person that any care provision is
established and organised in a usually acceptable way. In some scenarios, the
family and parents have requested support and help perhaps just on a short term
basis. The chance of a successful outcome is greatly increased if all involved
(including other agencies) can agree on partnership arrangements for the mutual
care support for the child and young person.
FOSTERING AGENCIES
There are numerous fostering agencies and the British Association for Adoption and
Fostering is often able to direct people to agencies in their area. All agencies focus
on the ‘Paramountcy Principle’ detailed in the Children Act (1989) which states all
decisions relating to the health and welfare of the child or young person and the best
interest of the child is paramount and of the utmost importance.
