Fascinating Fact:

TACT is a UK children’s charity that provides fostering, adoption, and permanency support for children and young people in or on the edge of care.

In Specialist Charities, TACT is linked to children’s social care and the support that helps young people feel safe and settled. This includes recruiting and training carers, matching children with families, and providing ongoing help so placements can succeed.

Key Terms

Fostering: Caring for a child in your home for a short or long time when they cannot live with their birth family.
Adoption: When a child becomes a permanent legal member of a new family, with parents who take full responsibility for their care.
Permanency: A plan that gives a child long-term stability, such as living safely with family, foster carers long-term, or being adopted.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is the difference between fostering and adoption?

Fostering is usually temporary care where the local authority stays responsible, while adoption is a permanent legal change where adopters become the child’s parents for life.

What does “in care” mean for a child in the UK?

A child “in care” is looked after by the local authority because it is not safe or possible for them to live with their birth family at that time.

What support do foster carers usually get from a fostering agency?

Foster carers typically get training, a supervising social worker, advice during challenges, and practical support to help meet a child’s needs and keep placements stable.
