Examples of Private Fostering
Here are some examples of private fostering arrangements:

Private foster arrangements can take many forms. These can include:

A child sent to this country to study, with parents living in another country |

A child from overseas attending a boarding school and living with a host family during school holidays |
|
Children living with another family because their parents work unsociable hours or work away from the family home |
|
People who come to this country to study or work, but anti social hours make it difficult for them to care for their own children |
