Reporting foster child care

• The municipality determines what kind of assistance and Health is best for the child.
• If this concerns foster care and you are not yet an official foster parent, an assessment will be conducted to determine your suitability as a foster parent. This is done by a foster care organization.
• The foster care organization will apply for a certificate of good conduct on your behalf from the Child Care and Protection Board.
• If you are approved to become a foster parent for the child, you may receive an allowance. You will also receive support from the foster Health organization.

More information about becoming a foster parent can be found on the website of the Child Care and Protection Board.

• You must report that you are caring for a foster child to the municipality where you live.
• You must do this within 1 week.
• If your foster child leaves or passes away, you must also report this to the municipality.
