Kids & Youth Program Guidelines: Considering Out-of-Home Care.

When designing and offering programs, churches can support Foster Carers to meet their obligations and provide inclusive environments for young people in Out-of-Home Care.

We’ve prepared some guidelines to help you, which include considerations in the following areas:

• Consent
• Travel
• Media and photographs
• Privacy and confidentiality
• Birth Parents and Reunification
• Religious Worship and Instruction
• Medical attentions and incidents

Download the guidelines below.

We’ve also created some Communication Considerations to help churches communicate thoughtfully about Out-of-Home Care.

The Homeward Project wants to support you to shape and sustain a ministry of Out-of-Home Care in your church and community. Find out more here.
